    well i checked everything out... replaced the dizzy, checked the timing (ignition timing was off 6 degrees, fixed that), changed the oil, checked all my sensors, checked the cat, etc.... couldnt figure it out.

    but finally i got it figured out, and im shocked at what the problem was... my cone filter got pretty fukked up in my accident a while back, so i threw on a spare sh!tty APC one my buddy had laying around... it had a big circular metal cap on the end that was somehow sucked in and was blocking the IM.... motor was starved for air.

    Weird. Car's back on the road though! lol
