..seems like you need to replace your cap and rotors or spark plug wires

Might also be a bad injector 4 or low compression in cyl 4, though a bad plug or wire is more common.

make sure the damm spark plug wires didnt come loose of from the dizzy for some weird reason. That happened to me once. It seems the base of the wire that went in the dizzy was broken and just came off while driving making my car stutter like hell and sound like a VW bug.

You may still need to do the rotor or cap.

Good luck!
