HELP, ignition, distributor? cant figure it out

aneimicwombat · 12-09-2006, 03:51 PM

I got a 93 n/a and at first like every ten minutes it would miss alittle bit then go a way. and i was driving last night and when i would go to let off the clutch it start hopping and missing and i drove down the road and all the way up to about 3 thousand rpms it would be missing and if i would give it alot of gas you could feel it sputtering. I got to the mall and i let it idle and it started missing bad enough to where it would die and i would start it up and if i didn't hold the gas down i would die and it idles for a little bit missing but it dies. If i held the gas it didn't feel like it was missing at like over 3500 rpms but then i took the distributor apart and sprayed some carberator cleaner in it ,cause you can see alittle oil residue on the distributor and i sparyed it out with carberator cleaner and it helped for about a mile and same old crap. and i let it die and now it won't start up. I checked plugs there new, cap is new, wires are new, rotor is new everything is new and i tried to start it and it fired like 4 times out the wire and that was it. then tried it again and it was firing more and it was just random after that. PLEASE HELP I AM IN A BIND. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
