ok so an update on my civic i put in new distributor , cap , rotor, spark plugs and still wont start then a friend got the idea to check to see if the spark plugs were getting spark and we checked piston one and it had spark then checked piston 2 and no spark the same for piston 3 and 4 so i changed them and it worked i got it started but now it idles perfectly but when i rev it up its starts to sputter and the rpm gauge starts jumpin i have no idea what to do now any ideas?
