    Need some help...car running terrible

    Well, it did the same EXACT thing again today. The part that sucked this time was that I was a lot farther away from home than last time....its been running perfect since my update from previously. Anyone think its the computer?

    UPDATE: Left the car in the carport for almost 2 days with the battery unhooked. Hooked it back up today so I could move it to clean the carport out some and it started up and ran nice. So I drove it around the block. No stuttering or smoking. So I took it down the road after it got to...

    Tranny Fixed! But now motor has a problem

    Well, I put the new part on.....still does the same thing....sometimes seems worse....anyone think the coil could be a problem? Its the stock one thats been on it forever.
