I changed distibutors as well as made sure it was clean. I don't know the impedence. I just gronded the neg. To a bolt and the positive to the blue wire of O2. Thank you

OK, when everything else fails to fix the problem, check all the grounds,
including the battery to the body and the wires that go with it.

Lol, I read your mind. It was the last thing I tried!I also added another wire from the engine to the fire wall. Is there any grounds that may be really hard to see? I did the grounds under the dash too. Thanks wild!

I have a bundle of wires that works the EFI, and they bolt to the distributor,
somewhere around 6 individual wires, all black on my trucklet

I see you have a ported MAF, how did you do that???
is there a possibility you did some damage to it? remember
that was one of the first things I suggested to check

I have 2 grounds that bolt to the back of the manifold that are gounds for the injectors. They didn't look the greatest so I cleaned them really good! The others on the firewall looked ok but I cleaned them too. The maf tested good but I put the stock maf back on with no change. The ported maf made a noticeable power difference. My brother did the work on it. His ran good until he blew the engine at the fall classic 2 years ago or so.
Thanks

Man, you got to be getting tired, short of a rebuild seems like you have
done everything to fix the problem.

The only thing I can say is monitor the fuel pressure, spark, power to the coil
and the injector pulse width, and when it acts stupid see which one is causing
the problem.

I think you have a bad electrical connection, somewhere in the ignition circuit,
either power to the coil or power to the computer or the ignition signals to or
from the ignitor, something is causing your spark to drop, (as you noticed when testing)
 and all the parts have been changed out with no difference in the problem

You have a mystery on your hands

I think you are right. I will go over that with a fine tooth comb. I did put my msd coil on to try it but it didn't fix the problem. Its just weird! Do you know what the voltage should be in the orange wire coming out if the ignitor?
Thanks

Nope, my ignitor is inside the distributor, different setup.
16V distributors have the trigger inside, but the electronics
aren't

Is their anybody out there close to the salem or corvallis area that would let me try their 16v 5 spd computer to determine if that is the problem??
Thanks

I thought you had the computer tested and it was OK?
I seriously doubt it's the computer tho

It did test good. I checked the distributor even though I knew it was good because I changed it out with no change. I'm getting desperate and thought it wouldn't hurt to try one!

Rhinoman, I know nothing about the noise suppressor? Where would it be? Thank you
