I have a 94 with a 302 and have done a tune up and now it barely starts and when it does it sometimes choke off what could be causing this?

What was the extent of your tune-up? What parts were inspected or replaced?

Suggest that if it runs worse after a tune-up, then it's almost got to be something done during the tune-up.

Some things that come to mind are -
* crossed plug wires
* wires installed out of position on the distributor cap
* replacement parts bad out of the box, or the use of bargain-basement cheapie parts.
* something moved or dislodged during the tune-up actions - snapped connector, broken wire, something intentionally disconnected that was not reconnected.

I'd say you've got the firing order wrong........ what firing order did you use? 13726548 or 15426378?
