1. check dizzy cap. see if its loose, missing the coil spring, rotor is on right, and wires.

2. check the compression in the cylinders. a compression tester is $15 at autozone and a very usefull tool (even if its unnessicary this time)

3. did u put Dilect-grease on the connection points of ur wires? If not try that next, one or all of ur spark plugs could be disconnecting themselves (so to speak) s u drive.

Is your car stock? Did you put some big injectors on there? All FOUR spark plugs are doused with gas? Was it running fire before?

Sounds like a fuel problem.

well yea. it should always have power but the ground should be a pulse. so what prompted this problem? all you did was change the spark plugs? you didnt unhook anything else. im kinda confused on what happened.

sorry for not putting the info but i bought this car , and it was bogging out since i got it the reason why i bought it is becouse of the shell not the motor since im swaping it with a ls vtec but anyway i still need the single cam to go to work , so thats why si i started eliminating problems that i thought it had like coil sparkplugs map sensor tps , and the iavc and found out there was no knock sensor and the injectors were conected to a ground well anyway lets just forgwet about it i made the guy who sold it for me to pay for the mechanic but i will ask the mechanic what was wrong with its o we can all be aware of this mistakes that other people do
