aite so check this my check engine light came on so i checked it out. i removed my spark plug cover and took out tha spark plug wire one by one. i started at tha far left going right. the first spark plug wire i took out it made the car wanna die so i put it back in and then its fine. i do the same with the rest of them but when i get to the number one cylinder,i take out the spark plug wire and nothing happens it stays normal. basically the number one spark plug is not sending spark to the car so i replace my spark plug( the old ones were really f up) thinking it would fix my proplem but nope still mess up also when my car idle and 1grand or less the engine starts shaking like its about to die but it doesnt. can someone help me out plz thanks in advance

the obdII scanner told me that cylinder 1 and 3 misfire. i went to a shop and had it checked out and they said the same. so they are goin to take off the valve cover and see whats going on inside the engine...and i just bought the car too... fuccin dealer screwed me over if your in the norfolk virginia beach area stay away from Diamond Motorcars...they fucced me over sellin me a car that fuccs up in less then a month and expect me to pay for it because my one month warrenty expired exactly on the day the car messed up so dont go to Diamond motorcars in virginia beach spread the word!!!!
haha diamond i know the feeling ive heard many of stories about them when i was a manager at advance auto in norfolk. man that sucks tho im having a similar problem with my 99 prelude same exact thing ur saying but mine is 3 and 4 my number 4 was fixed after replacing plugs, wires and the whole distributor still having that problem on 3 though. infact i have spark on 3 but still no change in rpm, and still the number 3 misfire code... my problem (i think) is the injector is stuck open pouring gas into the cylinder and preventing the spark from igniting it. anyhow good luck on that. btw what shop are you getting to fix it i have a bunch of experience in working in shops in VA so im going to tell u straight up save your self time and money and avoid Advance Honda Specialist in Chesapeake at all costs.. they will fucc u over in a heart beat i used to work there.
is your firing order correct on the distributer? i remember the first time i was bored at home so i decided to take the distributer and spark plugs out and put em in wrong and misfire. 1-3-4-2
