thanks for all the ideas I think the cat is fine as it doesn't happen all the time,
and the fuel pump pre filter can only go on one way
im going to check my tps and o2 as soon as i get back home

That's true - but is your fuel pump OEM? I'd check injectors too, other than that maybe a kinked throttle cable?
Stumped.
It's not to check that they're "not working" it's to check whether it has a flow issue that may potentially cause inconsistent flow. And how do you diagnose an injectors' health by listening to its ticks? @_@ Doesn't hurt to check, they're worth peanuts - heck I have a spare set you can take for $10. My throttle cable was kinked and started to tear up like a brush - which caused me to have "flat spots" - like it will just jump, replaced it and it was gravy. This was all on my mighty D15 also.
Just speaking from experience.
Peace.
Fair enough about the throttle cable, I guess all it takes is a single look at the exposed section at the throttle anyway. But on the subject of injectors I didn't say "not working" I said "aren't working well"... If the injectors have any sort of blockage they usually tick louder.
So how would you actually check them for consistent flow?
I guess replacing is an option, or you could have them properly cleaned but I wouldn't really class that as checking them.
seems like guess work to me.besides injectors eather have restriceted flow or they dont, injector problems in older engines such as this will cause a constant problem rather then an intermitant one such as this, however most injectors would benifet from a cleaning.
it sounds electrical, as you may know some sensors are variable resistors in one way or another and when they are faulty they somtimes function normaly untill a spacific resistance and then can be erratic or unresponsive.
LOL I love ozhonda.
Goodluck with it all OP!
Yeah I know, I've had mine cleaned on the machine before too, but it's not really something you can do yourself to find out if it's an issue before spending the money, which is what I was getting at. It's pretty much just doing it hoping that it fixes the problem.
Not that getting it done is a bad thing though, but it may not be a necessary $150 to spend.
My mate has an injector machine could get it done for free...
