Would like some advice please
Hi guys, I have a lil' issue with my trans-am. 
85' t-top TA
5.0 Tuned port injection
Automatic trans
fully loaded
When I fire up my car it surges a lil' until its warmed up, then purrs like a kitten.
I have full range of throttle in the driveway. When I pull onto the street, she starts sputtering, popping and falling on her face. from 1/4 to full throttle, she runs great.
When there's no load on the motor, she runs great. Put the motor in drive, and under a load and she falls on her face. Unless at 3/4 to full throttle.
I changes the brush in the distributor as well as new plugs and wires. I just put a mini high torque starter in it too.
I have a feeling my tps is out, but I would like your guys advice as well. You know things I dont. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
