So check this out.  About a week or so ago, my car was lagging some power, especially during acceleration.  I swapped out the plugs, everything seemed to be fine.  Now, a week later, the car just wants to turn over and not start.  I changed the plugs again, and i checked the coil pack to make sure i was still getting spark at the plugs.  One by one, i put the plugs on the wire and grounded it to the block.  Only the 1 & 4 were getting spark.  So i figure coil pack right?  I went to the junkyard and got one for like $30 out of a similar model.  Now it wants to actually arc from the coil pack.  Specifically the # 3 coil.  Is there anything besides the coil pack from the junkyard that could be faulty as well?  Let me know.  thanks!

This is a classic symptom of a clogged fuel filter. Put a fuel pressure gauge on the car and see what you're getting up at the injectors. That will get you pointed in the right direction. Just an idea.
