Okay so I have a 89 CRX Si that sat for 9 years.
I got the car running, then...First the car was back firing on low rpm's, stumbling on acceleration, the #1 cylinder's injector was stuck, changed it out for a good one, and still has the same symptoms. So I re-did the timing (changed the timing belt/tensioner), changed fuel filter, spark plugs and wires. Still runs on 3 cylinders, and I know this b/c #1 cyl is not firing due to the spark plug looking clean as it can be new, but with fuel deposits on it (after I changed the injector). I have suspicion maybe the cap has something to do with it, or Maybe the ignitor/coil, but if the coil goes out...wouldn't I have no spark? I had a coil go out on me before, and the car didn't have spark period.
So whats your opinion about it?
p.s I might be looking way deep into this...it might be something so simple that I would slap myself for over looking it..lol
