Cd · 10-13-2015, 10:33 AM

My '93 Civic fires right up every single time - sometimes the instant i turn the key.
Most of the time i don't even hear the starter.
However, the car has always had a very weak spark in several ( if not all ) cylinders .
Power seems weak, but this is an old car with a lot of miles. The car I'd also an automatic.
the distributor is new, the wires and plugs as well.

Will i see a big FE Improvement by fixing the issue ?
