Having Problems with My Tpi 86 Iroc NEED HELP QUICK

Guys. My tpi camaro will start and run fine but it has no power it will only go about 20 mph. It has been sitting awhile and I tried changing all the tune up stuff like cap and rotor and plugs but still the same. Please help me. I need the car tommorow afternoon.

Thanks,
Irocznut

check the fuses?

I pulled a fuse once to disable the fuel pump, wrong one, I took out 1/2 my bank of injectors....

it ran like crap (and I mean crap, speed was difficult) and eventually it wouldn't start....

if it seems to idle fine but won't carry a load (go when in drive) it may be the Cat is plugged up.

I think that after a bit of driving, if you pull th car into a dark garage and peek at the converter, it will have a slight glow if it is clogged up.

I am not sure about the validity of that statement as ive only heard it, never tested it.

Thanks for the tips guys.....It can't be a clogged cat cause that camaro doesn't have one and I found out the distributor was loose and it ould move when in high rpm's so the computer would advance the timing like crazy making the motor not run right.

Thanks You All
