Hey guys I hope that someone can help me cause I am out of ideas. Heres that problem, A 94 ATX that is runnign really rough, misfires and has a really sudden loss of power throughout the powerband. WHne you accelerate it seems to be backfiring through the intake cause I hear 3-4 pops. Also under acceleration the car barely moves and there is a sputtering sound coming from the motor. We have checked all of the electrical connections, swapped in a different DIS, maf and put in new plugs and checked the wires. Looked over all of the vacuum lines and even took the intake apart to completely clean it including the EGR system. We also removed the Y-pipe cause whne I was driving behind the car on the freeway it was puffing out black smoke under acceleration and thne it started spitting out little glowing pieces of cat at my car. We put the Y-pipe back up after whe hollowed out the cats. The problem is still there and I don't know what else to do except take a match to it. The problem all started after the motor was washed and detailed (somewhat). Sorry for the long post, but hopefully someone can help diagnose the problem cause the car is really needed to get to work and back.
