Civic runs rough
My 95 1.5l 16 valve runs terrible. Ive replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil. The car idles ok but misfires when accelerated. If I pull the spark plug wires off the plugs I noticed that cylinder four doesnt spark when held to the valve cover. Cylinder 3 sparks a little. And cylinders 1+2 cant even be removed from the spark plugs with the engine running or the engine stalls. The only thing I can think of would be the igniter in the distributor but wouldnt this just cause a "no-start" condition? Any help appreciated.

Re: Civic runs rough
If you are not getting cyl #4 spark, check the dist cap and wires. Sounds like you got a carbon track in the cap which is sending the spark somewhere else.
its not the coil, since if it was bad it would give you no spark.
