My 95 gt is missing when I stab the throttle or accelerate hard abouve 4000 rpm. Pulls hard down low. Just had the fuel sensor(?) inside the distributor replaced and been doing that ever since. Is it a timing issue or what? And I also have a strong seems like Kerosene, not Gasoline smell at the rear of my car after parking it? I do have an off road exhaust. Help? Thanks.

A bad PIP (what you just had replaced in the dizzy) can cause a miss like that too.

If the dizzy bushing has slop, it creates issues with the PIP interface, esp at high RPM.

That said, the TFI manifests similar symptoms (Like Ford Tech stated).

Start by pulling codes.

Do you by-chance run platinum plugs?
How old is the ignition coil?

Good luck.

The reason I had that part replaced was because it would just cut off on me going down the road and wouldn't immediately restart. They hooked it up to the computer and it gave the code for the bad part in the distributor and replaced it. I then put new wires and yes, i did install new plugs. The ign. module is the stock one, hasn't been replaced to my knowledge. Thank you guys for your help.

And that bushing you said has slop in it, is it as simple as taking the dist. cap off and tightening?
