    any suggestions!? Changed fuel filter, TPS, new manifold, new primary o2 sensor, new spark plugs, new distributor rotor. I’m getting bad sputter when I give gas. No power behind petal but idle is perfect. Please help!

    Check the gap on the spark plugs. Clean your injectors clean your maf. Do you have any cels?

    No CELs, gapped the plugs to .31 seems to be running better. There was unburnt fuel on them when I yanked them out. Dried them off and gapped now seems to be ok. Still worried problem might come back. Thinking dirty or bad egr valve

    Running better, got the power back but now it seems to have a dead miss fire and a little bit of a lag on the initial throttle!

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Is the firing order correct?

    If it is, I would look at changing the wires next.
