Could it be a bad fuel pump? People have told me that whenever their fuel pump went out, the car just wouldn't start. I'm pretty sure this is a fuel or ignition problem.

When I floor it from a start, the car will get loud but is really really really weak until somewhere between 1-4k rpm, then it lunges forward.

Mine seems to fixed now. I just resoldered the main relay, put in a new pump, and new fuel filter. So maybe you oughtta start with the cheapest? I think it was the pump tho

wow...still working on this? Don't replace the dizzy...I didn't mean replace it. Try to borrow someone elses dist. A minor defect in the sensors inside will not be fixed by a dizzy swap. I still think its the dist. But do what you must.

If it doesnt fix it, ill be of value to you when ur car is boosted
