When did the car start to mess up making you decide to do a compression test, just get new spark plugs

Don't you notice the tip of the spark plug is missing? it could be bouncing around in the cylinder. OP needs to take the head off, find it, and check damage to the walls, piston, and possibly valves. It's not as simple as "just get new spark plugs".

Yes i did notice the tip missing, if he ran it after the tip came off it could already be out the cylinder and not have done damage, that is why i asked him when did it start acting wierd

Well honestly I kinda leaned more towards a dizzy issue or maybe jumped time, but I had just picked up a comperssion tester and figured I try it out just for the heck of it. I'm kinda glad I did that first before checking the timing belt though. It's just been flat out driving like crap to the point I just parked it, I was gonna go through the whole steps till I figured it out. looks like I have more to do now.

I went ahead and did the test anyway and I think I heard the Effer hit inside.

184,180,(bad one)180,184

motor seems to be pretty healthy posting 180s across the board, but please find that electrode ASAP!

I know I know! as bad as that will suck I'll have to
I need to change the water pump and timing belt anyway i guess.
Thankz all for sharing in my pain
