1986 Honda Prelude 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

I have replaced the wires and the cap the roter looks ok but the fire to the plug is yery weak if any at all, and yes the plugs are new. The car seems fine at idell and smooths out at high rpm but misses and shakes on acceleration. # 4 plug is allways wet when I pull it so it is getting fuel. This my first honda, don't know much about them, I need help. thanks don

compression is 140+or - 3-5 psi still running on 3. What is the firing order and how are the cylinders numbered?

Hi Don,

Get a compression test done and let me know the readings of the cylinders.
