I was riding down the road in my frist gen just blastin away as normal. and i came to this bridge that i cross every day. So I drop a gear and goto speed up..... and Then i noticed my car was half as loud....and had half its power.... (you know how loud a first gen can be with a racing beat header) so it was quite noticeable.... I can't figure what it could be. Maybe it could be my leading plugs or something? I need to get a chance to change those but they are not even a month old. I can't think of anything other than it really makin me mad. Can anyone think of what it could be ?

maybe one of your rotors fell out. ok ok maybe the plug wires are bad? maybe the coils are bad?

check compression and take it from there. see the FAQs for how to.

one rotor is not "working"

mine sometimes starts that was untill the second rotor starts firing. my problem is a water jacket leak that lets some water into the rear housing. eventually it gest blown out and starts firing. i don't know what would cause your prob.

p.s. Its probably the rear rotor. the rear rotor is usually the problematic one foe whatever reason

Check your ignitors on the distributor , they can cause some problems with firing.

Compression check first. All that ignition stuff mentioned is not going to affect just one rotor.
