ok about 3 weeks ago i blew a head gasket, well i decided to get a over haul kit, all the gaskets for the top end, and a new rear main.....well after fixing it all and getting the engine back in, i started the car and all my radiator fluid shot out like 5ft behind the car.....well this was cuz my lower intake gaskets had shifted when reinstalling the lower intake so i fixed it and now the car has been running ok for the last 2 -3 weeks.

now my question, my car has been jerking and backfiring and acting like somthing holding it back when i put the pedel to the floor, but this only happins every so often.....i was driving around all morning and it was fine, but i let it sit for about 2 hours and go for another ride and it starts doing all this crap.....any ideas? could the spark plugs do this cuz they got wet? i had the tfi modul on the distributor replaced about a year ago, could it have gone out again? i do have a msd 6A box and blaster coil.
