Hello, I just replaced the plugs, wires, cap & rotor on my '91 Civic. The car ran good before. I've put 50,000 miles on the car since I bought it, (it has 124,000 miles now) and figured it was time to replace the wires and cap & rotor, as well as the plugs. I usually change the plugs every 15K miles or so.

Anyway, now the car has a flat spot, or bogs a bit when I put it in drive and take off. The flat spot is at very low rpm's, and is noticeable while stopped at a red light or stop sign. If I accelerate slowly when I take off from a stop, it runs fine.

Any ideas? Could it be a poor connection somewhere? I used all Bosch parts.

Thanks.
