Icon3 Problem with 1994 Honda Civic EX

Info: red 1994 honda civic EX VETCH
168000 miles
5 Speed
Last oil change was about a month ago.
as of today 3/16/2012 I put a fuel filter and spark plugs in.

Problem: At the beginning of this week my car has been drinking ALOT of gas. So i changed the fuel filter today along with spark plugs. Also when driving as in slowing down to pull into a parking space or making a turn somewhere or even at a redlight my car would cut off. Not cut off like stall or die because my radio and such was still on it just wasnt running. But since changing the plugs my rpms have risen since they would go really low when slowing down like below 600.

Anywho, its has bad vibration in the steeringwheel to where my whole car shakes and its very noticeable. But since the fuel filter and plugs were changed it seems to be riding better BUT still vibrates at idle. On top of that my boyfriend said one of my cylinders seems to be misfiring but i dont know. Its not acting out just the vibration. Ive read things about the distributor coil, cap, and button. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I havent confused you all.

TIA

If you think there is a misfire on a cylinder, pull the spark plug leads one at a time, if you pull a lead and nothing happens, that is the bad cylinder.

You should also pull the codes, even if the CEL is not on, codes may be stored. 94
