misfiring cylinders

i need some help guys i have a 96 integra SE with about 76k miles on it and the check engine light came on about 2 months ago. i brought it to my mechanic and the computer showed cylinders 1 and 2 were misfiring. he replaced my spark plugs and wires..and the problem went away until now. any ideas what went wrong? the car seems normal but i think i noticed some loss of power. thanks guys

Make sure spark plugs are gapped properly, and see about replacing distributor rotor and cap. I did that on my accord that was having similar problems and it made a world of difference.

did he also replace the rotor and cap?

nopes didnt replace rotors and cap

well its actually the rotor button. not rotors. not to get confused with brake rotors. but, i would make sure the gap is right and replace the rotor button and the distributor cap.

:iagree:

hey...this thread is more than 2 weeks old but i got the same problem again. i changed the distributor rotor and cap and then had the engine flushed. the mechanics I went to werent able to figure out what went wrong so maybe you guys would know.. any ideas?

did u also get some new spark plug wires as well. also did the mechanic reset ur ecu to get rid of the CEL. if not, pull the 7.5 amp "back up" fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay

yea i changed the spark plug wires and my mechanic reset the ECU too
