    Your problem could be caused by several things, I own a 95 civic with a GSR swap and my car did the same thing, You should check and or replace your spark plugs first, then check you coolant level and make sure everything is working correctly on that end. Then if you are still having problems after that you might want to check your timming. Good Luck!:) Most likely the spark plugs will fix the problem

    It has just had new spark plugs I was told that changing the map sensor would fix the problem but it was still the same and the coolant level is fine I'm just getting really frustrated as I've only had the car just over a year and was told it would be an easy problem 2 fix
