so i am driving home from school and the car starts to miss really badly. and when i stop at a light it will not rev up at all. Its really weird because it idles fine but will not go above idle. it will get a slight rev sporatically but nothing significant. So i end up stalling it by this time the light has changed so i start it again and the car runs fine, i get through the intersection and pull into the gas station. so i shut it off and take a look under the hood check the wires and look for something weird i guess.
So i decide to try it again i pull out and head back towards home.... anyway it does the same thing 3 more times on the way home. each time that i shut it off and wait a minute and start it up again it runs fine for a few kilometres. and then nothing no response to gas pedal.
I checked the cap, rotor and plugs all had normal wear on them nothin serious. one plug had some oil on it which i am already aware of but i dont think that one plug would cause the car to stop running completely. i have completely lost a cylinder on my other civic and drove it quite some distance without much trouble.
I have an engine to put in it but i dont have any time to do it for another month or so. So i dont want to spend too much money fixing this unless it is something other than the engine.i
I am baffled right now can anyone help?
