Dirt Track- Stripped 99 civic suddenly skip then back to normal? (Solved)
We are at the dirt track with our 99 civic sohc car
It suddenly went into a dead skip and 20 seconds later cleared right up
Not sure how to approach an what could cause it
Plug wires look decent

Went gradually from running on 4 to 3 to 2 cylinders and totally dead altogether

got it fixed, tried to test the coil but there are so many million settings on the mulitmeter
I ended up changing the coil and it fired up. I also found the plug wires were junk one was broken at the internal connector that snaps to the plug.
So I assume thats why it would run good then skip when getting bumped on the track it finally lost connection and we raced 3 more races on 3 cylinders and I think it fried the coil discharging with nowhere for the current to go
