Question Somebody please help!!!

Okay here's what shes doing:
1.)Loss of power (all the time)
2.)motor shimmies/hesitates down (like it's about to stall but it don't)
3.)seems like it shimmying/hesitation starts after shes warmed up.

Okay here's what I've done:
1.)Checked all spark plugs and wires (ok).
2.)Replaced distributor cap & rotor button.
3.)Replaced fuel filter.

Somebody please help, I'm about to blow her up!!!

x2. And run error code scans. And clean your MAF Sensor w/ MAF or electronic contact cleaner. And clean your IAC. After you cure it's ills, Seafoam the combustion chambers.

Question Okay

Checked the maf sensor, cleaned it. Also same with the iac. Still doing it. It's weird I've had issues with broken spark plugs and it's almost acting the same way. ?????

Error code scans. When you do a fuel pressure check also see if the pressure holds after the engine is shut off, or drops off immediately. Check plugs to see what's firing. Could be a cracked insulator.
