As some of you recall, prior to me discovering that I had the beginning of a head gasket leak, I was troubleshooting a rough idle condition.  I had it narrowed down to the possibility of a bad EACV.

Anyway... I enlisted my shoppe to do the head gasket repair (which included machining the head) and while they were at it, I had them R&R both the timing belt and water pump (cheap insurance...).

Picked up the car this evening and was driving home when all of a sudden I felt the engine mis-fire.  Then the Check Engine light came on and it was acting as if I was only running on one or two cylinders.  I managed to nurse the car to a near-by Chevron station where it just would not idle.  The ECU threw an error code of 14.  Bad EACV.

So... would an EACV that's gone wonky cause an engine (under normal driving conditions as well as load) to give the sensation that it's mis-firing/sputtering?

Right now, Jiggy is back at shoppe... I called AAA and had them tow it back.  I would have looked this up in my Helm but I loaned my copy to another CRX owner the other day.  :^\
