Alright this started to happen all within a week. first my car started to make some like whining noises from the distributor area. after i take it on the highway the noise was gone so i thought nothing was wrong. then couple of days later when i start to press gas it sounds like i have lot of air going in to my car. then that sound stopd after a day or two. now my car is having trouble starting. when ever i start it starts for little bit and it turns off, but when i start driving its fine, when i stop it turns off. now i was thinking it was the spark plugs, wires, and the distributor but im not queit sure if that is going to do it. you guys have any ideas? thanks

check the plugs and plug wires and the rotor cap.

Once you're done there, check the Idle screw in the throttle body.

yea your rite, i changed the spark plugs and wires on my car like 30 minutes ago ran pretty good. im going to change the rotors after i get off work, but i was wonderin what would be a good idle for my car 92 civic vx 1.5l. i think mines probably idling between 500-700 .
