Help Car won't start!!!

I have a 04 tsx, this morning I tried to start my car, it cranks but doesn't want to run without holding the gas, it runs like shit with gas all the way down and only stays around 2k rpm. I checked the spark plugs battery and starter... What's the deal I have a vid I'll post soon

I listened to video clip and engine has a dead miss on at least 1 cylinder. Bad plug or COP is usual problem. Looks like check engine light is on. What codes..

good luck

Yeah, pull the code - it should tell you misfire on specific cylinder. Or at least point to a specific cylinder. Then change spark plug (cheapest) on that cylinder, and coil as a second measure if spark plug didn't fix it.
