Car running on 3 cyclinders?
I got a problem. Yesterday, I was driving and my car lost power and the car started shaking violently. Is this because a spark plug went out? When I accelerate, it accelerates slower then usual.

check you Distributor, Spark plug wires, and spark plugs.
If your going to ask how to check any of the above, go buy your self a Helms manuel

yes, you should.
Sometimes, wire's just die out. that's what happened with my car back in the day. All were plugged in properly, new plugs, distriubutor checked and everything. I found out it was a spark plug wire on my third cylinder that was shot.

Awesome!
sparks, cap ,coil, rotor, wires.
if u just replaced all that and it starting messing up u need to double check ur work. always check what u did last.
could be ur tail light gaskets.

Fuel injector..... - if your car still has the symptoms-while it is running, put a LONG screwdriver against each fuel injector, and put the handle end against your ear - you will be able to hear the click in the fuel injector if it is working correctly, if you do not hear the click, replace that injector....
