95 not running right

93-5OH · July 14th, 2009, 10:31 AM

has anyone had a problem with the computer going bad causing it not to run right? Its the only thing we can think of thats wrong with it

we put in a new msd distributor and coil pack, so we figured it might be timing but we've checked it several times and it about spot on. What the car does at idle is it will start up and idle fine for a few seconds then it will start to flutter up and down from under 1k. when you drive it it seems lagged, and wants to stall when coming to a stop. would a bad computer cause this?

Have you tried using some eye solution and cleaning the mass air meter? I know this was a big issue with a friends, he had to do this about once every couple months. I bet this solves your problems...

u scan for codes?

It started before the distributor, but it would idle at a higher rpm but now its doing it at a lower but it still wanted to cut out and lag...I'm from jacksonville. Were about to go try the eye wash hopefully its that simply

Ya it read error, we put in a new radiator and it seems like it gets blistering hot along with the distributor
