I got a problem. Yesterday, I was driving and my car lost power and the car started shaking violently. Is this because a spark plug went out? When I accelerate, it accelerates slower then usual.

 

Did you check to see if the plug wire came off the dizzy cap?

 

check you Distributor, Spark plug wires, and spark plugs.


If your going to ask how to check any of the above, go buy your self a Helms manuel

 

You probably had a wire pop off, are you using aftermarket ones and are they long enough? I had this happen in my accord, just turn off the car, push it back on.

 

i just pulled out my spark plugs, 2 of them are pretty black. Im going to kragen in 15 minutes and getting some new ones. Hope this is it

 

Check your wires. Majority of the time, it's mostly the spark plug wires.

 

all the wires are plugged in, not loose, should i go pick up a set of wires to when im getting my spark plugs?

 

yes, you should.

Sometimes, wire's just die out. that's what happened with my car back in the day. All were plugged in properly, new plugs, distriubutor checked and everything. I found out it was a spark plug wire on my third cylinder that was shot.

 

Hmm, i just replaced my wires and spark plugs....Those are not the problem. Maybe its the Dizzy?

 

Awesome!

sparks, cap ,coil, rotor, wires.

if u just replaced all that and it starting messing up u need to double check ur work. always check what u did last.

could be ur tail light gaskets.

 

i didnt replace the cap, coil, or rotor yet. Im going to bring my car to a shop 2m and let them look at it. Im tired of car problems.

 

welcome to the perfoemance world lol good luck,

 

Do you guys think my timing slipped?

 

bump

 

Fuel injector..... - if your car still has the symptoms-while it is running, put a LONG screwdriver against each fuel injector, and put the handle end against your ear - you will be able to hear the click in the fuel injector if it is working correctly, if you do not hear the click, replace that injector....
