oil leaking from my distributor cap? Spark plug not getting fuel
What is your question?
My check engine light comes on, it has code 43 for obd i, the car hesitates, backfires, misfires, and wants to die when i accelerate but is fine when in neutral and i rev the engine, it will go after 30 seconds, but acts like it wasn't getting any fuel and I have 1 dry spark plug. I also have oil leaking from my distributor cap.

common problem on the 90s.accords,civics preludes.you have oil in the cap.the cap is attached to distributor.it has oil in it also.some try replacing o ring,and seal,but most just replace the distributor.it's your car,up to you and funds!$$$$ NEW distributor is around $150.00 lifetime warranty.either engine,2.2L OR 2.3L.

Thanks. We'll try replacing the mounting gasket first, if that doesn't work then just replace the whole thing.
2.2L OR 2.3L engine?and which mounting gasket?do you mean the cap gasket?
2.3L and distributor mounting gasket. I also have 1 spark plug/cylinder that dry. It's not getting any fuel to it, i bought injector cleaner hoping that it just needs to be cleaned out. but the car starts, runs and drives just fine most of the time. It just has the hesitation and back/misfires when i accelerate. Never does it in neutral, park or reverse.
new injector is around $60.00,dist. mounting gasket is less than $5.00.check junkyards in your area,for a used injector,if you can find a honda engine in any of them.people here scoop those honda parts up quick at junkyards.
Will do thanks for the help.
your welcome...
