#228569 check make sure your spark plug wires are fully in. check your plugs, and check your wires. and make sure all your connectors are all plugged in.

N the smallest cut/rip on a spark plug wire n if it's making contact wit metal will make the car feel sluggish.

#228698 Also pop off your distributor cap. I've been confronted with some unusual surprises when looking for difficult to diagnose, intermittent problems.

x2 if the contact points look bad you can always get some sand paper and clean them up a little.

#241793 have you at anypoint checked your air filter? mbcolpitts bought a eg one winter, guy was selling cheap; said it had no power left, would no longer make it to vtec and one day just wouldnt start. i showed up cranked for 2 minutes and proceded to pull off his air filter, car started and all his problems were gone. turned out he pushed the filter on to far and then it got some rain in it and froze. thats just my 4 cents. also open the bleeder on top of the filter and turn your key on, feul should shoot out of there. listen for your feul pump even a new one will make noise but an excess of noice will tell you its going bad. keep it simple dont just start dumping money into it until you know whats causing your problem.
