What's going on zilvia.
Have a '92 coupe, ka24de. Recently, I've been having a problem with misfiring. It started a while back, after I had owned the car for a few months. Only things done to the motor are an oil change. Motor started misfiring the third cyl after my buddy and I fixed my clutch, and he goosed it. It misfired for a while, I drove it home, woke up for work, and low and behold, it didn't misfire. It would occasionally misfire for a couple weeks, so I went ahead and changed my dizzy cap and rotor. When I pulled the cap off, it looked as though the rotor was scraping the top half of the cap, but not the bottom.. Odd. But I changed it, and no problems for a while. Recently, the car would misfire, starting in 5th gear, and then it'd return to being fine, all while driving around. Now, when I start it, and get up to 4th or 5th, after a bit, it'll misfire basically until I turn it off, with the occasional returning to normal. Cleaned the MAF today, and still no result. Car idles high too, around 1500 or so. I'm thinking it could be my fuel pump, as I no longer hear it priming at half key. Any suggestions? Spark plugs checked, they're fine. Haven't changed the spark plug wires yet, but I have a feeling it's a fuel issue. Help would be much appreciated, I'm tired of driving it around on a misfire, because it's my daily.
