Car shaking...loss of power.

[90FIVEX2DR]

I did a search and nothing came up.

I was driving 95 civic ex about 40 when i felt a sudden loss of power. When stop at the light the car car is shaking like it want to die. Now when I start to drive it is sputtering. Won't rev past 3500. With my little knowledge of cars I thought spark plugs. I changed those and it stopped for the first couple of minutes after I started and then it started.

Maybe wires, cap rotor, dizzy?

Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, judging by what you said, sounds like a spark plug.....did you check them after it happened again?

Is your car leaking any oil?

 

[90FIVEX2DR]

There is no oil leak. I'm leaning towards the wires. At least I hope it is. I can DIY those small details.

Yeah don't stress it...try the wires, double check the plugs....and you should be aight...

I went back out to check the wires and when I pulled out the number 2 wire, the connector was left on the spark so I'm guessing that's the problem. I kinda stuck it back on there so the car can take me to the auto store.

Thanks for the fast responses JEZ

No problem man...glad to be of assistance (somewhat) haha

Well the wires were pretty bad. They literally fell apart when I took them out. The connectors were stuck on the plugs. I feel a little more power with new plugs

your grounding points might be unstable or the electric currents are being cut somehow. check your grounding points and make sure they arent corroded, also check all harnesses.
