EG8 civic automatic 92 model fuel injected...the engine trimbles & acts like it's straining to pull vehicle...so i was thinking... if one spark plug NOT working will this cause the engine to do this..?

yes that could be the problem, check all the cables to plug and coil. if nothing there, try changing plug, check if there is any damage on the cables as well, could be leakage also.
hope it helps, Merry Christmas

If a plug stops working or misfires yes it can cause stumbling and a bad idle. But in this case I would say that it is possable that more then 1 plug is making it do that.
Plugs are cheep and easy to change. Get some new plugs and it should correct this fault.
If you have not given it a tuneup in a long time check all these things.

It can. But then so can one plug wire. Or a crack in the distributor cap. Or a failed fuel injector. Or a vacuum leak. Or…(?) or…
It is time to stop guessing and perform some thoughtful diagnostics. You will be much more pleased, and spend a lot less money, effort, time and frustration if you follow a reasoned diagnostic procedure.
Good Luck and Merry Christmas

could be plugs or leads or any amount of others ,to check plugs remove one lead at a time,using non conductive pliers,if removing one lead the engine does not die,turn off car switch two plugs over being careful not to switch leads.start car and check that plug again, if engine still does not die its the plug,but if it does its the lead

Could be it as it could be a misfire. Change your plugs & leads that may cure it. but if continues it maybe a Gasket failure or a air leak on the fuel intake ie. manifold. Its worth checking air pipes for splits/breaks

yes. Start the engine and unplug them one by one pluging them in before the next one. you'll find the one that is dead when you dont hear a change.
