Hey everyone!

So as I was driving home last night from I experienced a bit of an interesting scenario. I was in fifth just cruising around 3k when I lost nearly every bit of power. My car began sputtering rapidly, sounding like a damn muffled machine gun going off lol.

I tossed the car into neutral and coasted to the side. As soon as I put it into neutral the car chugged till it quit. After getting it towed I briefly checked my plug wires (which are pretty darn new) and they looked fine. I haven't had time to pop out the plugs and inspect those. I seem to be getting fuel, I am thinking it is the spark I am having an issue with.

Should I just go ahead an start cheap and get some new plugs? Has anyone else out there experienced this before? Distributor? Thank you guys for your input!

Pull your fuel rail with the injectors still in it and lay it on a rag. Then crank the engine to make sure you have fuel. Sounds like a problem I had in one of my cars. Turned out injectors stopped firing. If the injectors fire then its a bad distributor.
