Hey guys i have a 98 civic D16y8....i got it last week seemed decent but had a miss to it so i changed the plugs which helped ALOT but still continued, i changed the wires, still missed, got a new fuel filter, still missed now its at the point where if set to idle for over 2 minutes it will kill itself, if i get into too hard it will f**k it up and most like break down in the next 30 seconds, it wont rev past about about 5k after 2nd gear and is just sluggish on top end. Now its started to cut itself off completly while im driving...in order for it to cut back on i have to bang on the distributor with a screwdriver while my buddy cranks it and it will fire right up...i changed the coil but it still dies unless i beat on the distributor...what the hell is going on please tell me
