I drive a honda civic 94, and lately I started having misfire in cylinder 3 or plug #3. I already did timing belt, turn up and those things, but my question today is can anyone help me or have any idea what it might be. I just want to have some idea of what's going on before I take it to the teach. Cause some teach can't not be trust... u know what I mean. Please help. And also has more that 120,000 miles on it. I just don't know what's going on here:confused: :confused: :confused: :( :(

So basically I can replace the Distributor and the plug wires?

If you can't trust your mechanic get another mechanic. A car with 120K on it these days is just barely broken in versus the old days when it would be considered worn out.

Ensure your tune-up involved replacing the rotor, distributor cap, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. Also, be sure to test/replace the Ignition Control Module and the coil. Because of the age and mileage on your Accord, I would replace all of these components to restore "like new" performance and reliability.

Most of today's auto repair shops are the most honest and trustworthy. They will go out of their way to make you happy and retain your business.
Take a good look at the surroundings, the types of vehicles they work on, word of mouth, and or course, the ASE label stating they are a certified facility.
Sure, they're a few bad apples, but IMO, very few today. You HAVE to be good with this technology.
