Loss of Power
 
ok guys, Last nite i decieded to drive my car one last time for the season up here in Rochester NY, and I have had some problems with the car all summer but cleared most of them up with new injectors and mass air unit etc... last nite i was driving and my car started to slighty hesitate and buck in 5th gear. I kept driving and I noticed I had decent power up until I got around 4K on the tach. From there up I had no power at all and my car would Pop out of the intake if i went to WOT. The more I drove the car the worse it got to the point where after 2500RPM I would loose power completly. My car would smell pretty rich at times. It finally at a light died and it wouldn't start back up.. After a few minuets of sitting it started back up but i seemed like i had no spark cause i smelled raw fuel out of my pipes. My car seems to have gotten louder, almost like its running with the timing spout connector off, though it on. Could I have a ECM problem or my TFI module going bad? I replaced my TFI, and MY ECM when I mad my mass air conversion.. MY coil is a MSD blaster TFI, though i have heard horror stories over them.. Any Idea's would be great.. thanks guys!

I am not sure why, but no one replies to my posts.. Am i doing something wrong here?

Well I ran some codes and got a code 14.. that should be ignition pickup erratic.. does that sound about right?

Mine did the EXACT same thing the last two days. I changed the whole distributor. Which part is bad, I don't know. But it cured mine.

Did you change your TFI module along with the distributor, or just the distributor itself?

The whole thing. It was easier and I had a spare.

Thanks! I am out to the parts store now i guess.. I just replaced my distributor when I did my modifications, I guess I came across a bad unit.. thanks!
