My wifes car was acting real sluggish/hesitant when she was driving it and wouldn't start if she hit the gas before trying to start it. Yesterday, it wouldn't start at all, but this morning it started ritght up. I went ahead and changed the fuel filter thinking that it might have been the cause of the problem. Well, apparently it wasn't as she went to the store in it and it was still hesitating alot. When she got home, she turned it off and tried to restart it and now it won't start at all, and has kind of a muffled "poof" sound. Could this be the timing? If not, any help would certainly be appreciated. It is a 1990 Honda Civic LX.

Dizzy is fried prob, or ignition coil, maybe both. change you'r freakin plugs though anyways, they only like 10 bucks for 4.

I would say plugs as well, how many miles are on the car?

mine did the same thing when the distributer took a **** on me, thats my guess, but it wouldnt hurt to try plug wires first, since they are cheapest

Yeah the cheapest route, but in this case im thinkin it's the dizzy "distributor" just so you know.
