I was driving on the highway the other day when out of nowhere my car began running really strange. It sounded allot louder then normal and almost had no power. I figured out that one of my cylinders did not seem to be firing and I was only running on three. I located which cylinder it was by pulling plug wires once at a time to see which one had no change in the engine idling. I determined it to be the 2nd one from the side where the distributor cap is on.
I also noticed that the spark plug for that cylinder was wet from fuel not being ignited. So I tried changing the plug wires which had no effect. I also changed the whole distributor cap and rotor as well but still there is not change. I noticed however that there seems to be electricity coming from the distributor on that pole, because when I put the wire close to it while disconnected I can see and hear a small spark of electricity. Now I'm totally puzzled as to what the problem could be, does anyone have an idea?
