thanks for your replies,

I have worked on this car for many years and have never taken it to a shop before. I don't know if I ever will again.

The car was running extremely rich, had no power, backfired, three of the spark plugs were wet.

I took it to a guy who said " I know this car really well." He changed the pressure regulator and the fuel injectors. It cost me $800 and it ran EXACTLY THE SAME. He now seems to believe it is the dstributor and is putting in a new one that he is paying for for free.

In the past it was once a vacuum leak, once the temp sensor, once a bad MAP, once a cam shaft that I changed.(When I put it the new one in I knocked out the feeze plug!) I checked the temp sensor by pulling the wire and the car didn't run. I am not that good with a volt meter. The compression is very good and there is not any vacuum leak.

My question now is:

Could a bum distibutor effect the gas this much, and will I ever trust this car to anyone again?

thanks guys
