i just picked up another EK but this time a hatch i mean this thing is completely base no pwer steering a/c or even rear window wiper. it has a d16y7 in it with 450 000 kms on it i paid 400 bucks for it. body is still in very good shape has a couple surface rust spots and a minor dent. the rear quarters are mint tho. eventually i am planning on making it a EK9 replica. but i have just ran into some problems with the d16 as it is to cold to do a swap now i need to keep the D alive. as it seems i am only running on 3 cylinders as i dont believe the 3rd cylinder from the left is firing, i mean i have spark and i have fuel i dont think i have compression though. so when the car is cold it runs rough like a normal 3 cylinder would but as soon as it warms up it becomes undrivable, like t begins to sputter and tug kind of sounds like a snow blower. no im thinking my cat could be clogged and contributing to the problem as i believe it should still run on 3 cylinders just really rough, any ideas? , also my sedan is off the road due to a broken ball joint, and snapped drive shaft

dumb question, but did you run any code reader?
Any CEL's?

if cel came on and it said one of the cyllinder misfire then u have to change the spark plugs
and wires
along with distributor cap and rotor
it all should be under 100

i got a multi cylinder mis fire and i changed the plugs and wires and i know im getting a spark and i am pretty sure i am getting fuel im kinda iffy on the compression tho

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Try changing the fuel filter, an check the fuel pressure. Clean the injectors. And see what codes it's throwing.

Also check the spark, and change the cap/rotor. The coil may have gone bad.

i have been away busy but i believe i have found the problem it was fuel and i believe a bad injector is to blame i purchase some fuel injector cleaner and put some in and drove all day and runs 10x better i will pick up a filter in the morning and eventually replace the fuel rail and injectors thanks everyone
