i dont know whats wrong

[wf_festiva]

so i start my 1990 l Festiva up and it will start and barely idle like its missing in a cylinder and were having a huge snow storm so i took my intake apart completely dry my distributor cap completely dry and my plugs only have about 27k miles on them and when i give it gas it just dies right away any ideas?

[festivaWES]

moisture in the disty.

my plugs only have about 27k miles on them and

Champions every 12K ($1.99ea) Wires every 24K.

I've seen a lot more wire faiures than plug failures because people tend to never change their wire.

Did this just happen or has performance been slowly droping?

skipped a tooth? low fuel pressure?

wipe all the igniton parts down with a clean rag and try again.

just happened put plugs in about 5k miles ago and my plugs were loose i checked the wires with a spark plug wire tester aka u put the tip on a plug wire and if it turns orange it still works yea yea.
