Engine Mechanical problem
1989 Acura Integra 4 cyl Manual 343574 miles

i dont know if my car is just telling me she is ready to die or what? i know im having a slight alternator problem but now my number 4 cylinder stopped firing. I already changed the spark plugs and wires, took out the fuel injectors and cleaned my fuel rail, checked my fuel filter and my fuel pressure regulator, and even took a look at my valves and everything is in great condition. would my alternator also be causing this problem too because when i turn it on at night and i turn on the lights after idleing it stubbles alittle.

Hi jayd33,

If the 4th cylinder is not firing when you have sparks and fuel, you should check the compression.

Your alternator should not be related to this. If it is alternator problem, all cylinders would be affected.
