alright so i try 2 start my car up today and it tries but dies twice, and didnt start like usual, then to finally get it started i have to pull the choke all the way out of it and hold my foot to the gas a lil. i start to take off but it has almost no power and is very very weak. starts to stall out when i put it in gear too. i think it might have only been runnin off of one rotor but not sure. so whats wrong and how do i fix it? im thinkin new spark plugs to start maybe it was gettin any spark on one of the rotors?? not sure please help, thanks

I'd compression test both rotors to make sure before you go out buying anything.If your motor is half dead then you need to save up for a wrecker motor or a rebuild.

well after about 2 min it sputtered and came back to life, has worked fine since

If thats the case I would check you ignition system.Make sure everythings okay.Sounds like a bad connection somewhere.
