No!
trouble shoot before you replace parts.

How about you check timing before you go replacing parts? When was the last ignition tune up? Is the Check Engine Light on?

Exactly- tune up, like grumblemarc said. Auto 101

please do not use ghetto slang such as dizzy...who the hell came up with that anyways?!

you need to do a full overall diagnosis of your ignition parts before you start wasting money and throwing parts at the car...

Fighting a losing battle with that one.

sleepyaccord96

you're right

because "tranny" is so much better haha.

Seriously if you car is running on 2 cylinders you have some severe issues, so I doubt that's actually it.
You need to do the basics:
Spark
Fuel
Air

after you make sure it has those 3 (the triangle of fire) then get to troubleshooting other things.

I've seen quite a few cap/rotors that's been neglected enough to run on only 3 cylinders. A tune up will usually reveal a lot in the process of just pulling the parts, not necessarily replacing them(if not needed) could be quite a few things, you're right. First thing I check is cap/rotor, just sayin only takes a little carbon to be an issue
