TIRED OF DRIVING MY CAR THAT IS RUNNING HALF ASSED. I have the timming advanced 8 degrees and i have my fuel regulator maxed out. the car has a kinnda sputter when i pound on it and i winds up slow NO TORQUE it backfires through the tbi every once and awhile kinnda often. I got on it hard for a 50 yard shot i was in first its a (auto)and i stoped at the next stop sign and it died. I go to school
