recently i replaced my cap rotor ignitor plugs and wires. it was running flawless for the first couple days then outa nowhere my car started misfiring at higher rpms.. the plugs are on tight. what could be the problem?

you check the dizzy make sure its on tight enough? i know its a simple answer but sometimes its always the simple stuff that seems really bad

emooheo

well.. i guess i can check tomorrow. but it was working perfectly for nearly a week then all of a sudden it starts bogging really bad and misfiring

well i mean i could be something like that cuz you know your engine vibrates so the bolts could have come loose somehow i mean its just something to check ya know or maybe the dizzy just isnt in the right spot you may have it too far advanced or retarded but its just something to check ya know gotta rule out everything small before you start thinking big

car is still misfiring/bogging really bad. when hitting vtec it doesnt seem to pull at all. are ngk iridiums pregapped? the plugs are at about .038 instead of the stock ~.050.. my friend put them (different set) in his teg and they worked fine without gapping them.
i checked the oil dipstick and it is at a little over the first dot.
i disassembled my dizzy.. cap n rotor are on tight and wires are on goo

If spark, fuel and timing is all good then i suggest you to do a vavle adjustment.

fixed... a screw was loose on the ignitor.. new crush washer on it and it was all good
