I went out to lunch today and the car is now running on 3 cylinders. I noticd it was idling a little rough but then today I lost a good bit of power and I can defiantely tell it's not sparking on one cylinder.
I have to pick up my daughters from their ball game and I am driving from 285/85 N, down pleasant hill to Ronald reagan to 78 towarsd loganville later tonight. It will be after 7pm, is there a place to get OEM wires on the way home so I can change them on the way. I don't wanna buy cheap wires just to get me home I want to buy good wires once.

let me know if you guys know of a place to get some good wires on that way home.

try advance auto parts, they had a better selection of plugs when i bought mine a couple weeks ago, they had the NGK plugs i wanted and autozone didn't, so maybe give them a shot for the wires?

I don't know what you drive but if it's a honda, maybe try honda on hwy. 78

edit: just noticed you said it would be 7... i guess try advance on 78 in loganville that's where i went for my plugs, there's also a NAPA beside home depot maybe give them a shot too?

sorry if im not much help, lol

Oh, I drive a 95 Integra GSR w/ LS swap.
I know Advance has the NGK plugs, which is good but they only have Bosch wires, do you think they would be a decent substitute? I know these Honda's work best on NGK wires, but I can't seem to find them at any Autoparts store.

I second advance auto parts. I work there. :D we are running a special this month on Bosch platinum +2 plugs for $4.48 this month ONLY. but I would recomend the autolite professional series plug wires. they are awsome.

That's right, Autozone had the Bosc, advance has the Autolite pro's. I guess unless there is another suggestion I will go that direction. Does Advance have a long spark plug wrench that I cna buy to change the plugs in the lot? I think it's either a burnt wire or a fowled plug. :thinking:

with ohc motors you will need a ratchet, extention, socket. they should have a ratchet, socket and extention for you to borrow. but if you want to buy some tools all our hand tools are 50% off.

I thought they might have one of those long T handled Spark plug wrenches that would slide in there. :???:

get the wires from honda or get ngk (order if you have too). plugs ngk as well. most of the time i see any type of ignition/spark issues on a honda, it's because there are crappy wires and bosch or autolite plugs.

Well, I got to Advance auto last night, bought my $45 wires and installed them and that cured the issue. Glad that was all it was.
It was tough driving the 30 miles over to Snellville though. I went through a half a tank and only got 150 miles, usually I get something like 175-180 for a half tank but i had to open it up every time to get it to go. 3cylinders verses 4 is a large difference.
