What to do if one cylinder is not firing on a 1989 Honda civic si?
The first thing to do if one cylinder is not firing on a 1989 Honda Civic SI, is to disconnect the battery. Then remove the spark plug wire and the spark plug. Check to see that there is no oil on the plug and it has the right gap measurement. Then replace the spark plug and wire and try the engine again. If it is still misfiring, change the spark plug. If that does not fix the problem, have a compression check done for that cylinder.

The distributor sends a spark to the proper spark plug at the proper time. To do this, the points open and close a circuit to the coil to generate the high voltage spark.

Synchronization of this is done with a timing light which will send the spark to cylinder #1 as it comes to top dead center in the fire cycle.
