Default Check engine light on 97 del sol, engine laggy

This problem just happened 3 dys ago, i started the car the engine felt laggy as if it had power then lose it and back and forth. I drove it around my block and it felt extremely laggy so i parked it. My friend checked the code he works at advance auto and it said 2 cylinders had misfired so we replaced the spart plugs but the problem still is happening.

There also seems to be some condensation ie; foggy water in the dist cap where the wires plug into, i replaced that 2 times about 9 mths ago because of that same problem and now its back. Other than that obvious problem i am not sure about the rest and i really dont want to take it to a gas station and get ripped.

for some reason it sounds like your head gasket but not sure be a little more specific

well the honda dealership said i need a new engine, i have no idea how that happened its only got 135k on it

the tech said the cylinders 1 and 2 have a lower than normal psi rating, i may need to get a 2nd opinion cause an engine is a little far fetched for a honda engine at least
