i have a d16y8 CRX and i was driving on the highway. Next thing i know, my car feels as if i was on 3 cylinders so i pulled off to the side. I then pop the hood and notice that my battery broke off one of the spark plug wires where it meets the distributor. I then just put it back on and attempt to drive home. The car sputters real bad from 1-2,500k rpm then the engine stops sputtering and runs perfect. My friend told me it could be my exhaust leak starting to turn bad. I thought it was my distributor since my tach jumps when i turn on the turn signals or hazard lights. What do you guys think is wrong with my car?

-PS i'm posting for ImportsCRX

 

death of the dist. is imminent. mine did the same before leaving me stranded in front of a porno store three hours from home.
