    89 Honda Civic LX "dead cylinder"
    Hello. I'm new to the sight. On with my question. I have a 89 Honda Civic 1.5 16valve PGM-FI dual point injected. It only has 320,000 mi. This problem happened while driving it. It started missing plus the engine light came on. I have not done a compression check yet. It doesn't smoke or knock, just a dead miss. I did pull the dead cylinder spark plug wire and its getting good fire. I wander if this is a fuel problem.
