Re: ek coupe ex throwing code 72
worst case is a mechanical failure i.e. burnt valve
probable cause is somewhere in your ignition system on a honda
pull apart your distributor and check for a cracked cap/corroded terminals.
the number 3 cylinder is the second closest to the distributor.
you can check for spark by disabling the fuel on the car and cranking it with the wire out, use a screwdriver to the tip of the wire and if you get shocked your getting spark lol

could be as easy as a crudded up dist cap leads, or a faulty plug wire, start the troubleshooting process and youll eliminate alot of things.
