Last try...

Well since Ive got my 91 rs 305 TBI I had to replace the cat and flex plate. It ran good for a few hundred miles but then while going down the highway at 65 It started dropping in rpm and acting like it wasnt getting gas so I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs and wires. But it continued to do the same thing so I replaced the throttle body possition sensor, throttle body rebuild, fuel injectors, carcoal canister(fuel vapor canister thingy). but the same issues so I replaced the distributor and got a high proformance cap/ rotor, a new icm, new streetfire coil, new plugs.(I have re timed the car back to 0 degrees after anything Ive done, plus I put a new cat back on) but I still get issues, Im not getting a ses light until right before second gear when the car hesitates, when I hit big bumps, or when Im cruising down the highway. does anyone have any ideas of what its doing or how to fix it? The only thing I can think is egr or ecm but the egr seems like it moves fine. so any ideas or questions would be helpful thanks in advance...

Re: Last try...

could this be a loose ecm power connection, egr, or just a bad ecm? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I love thirdgens but they never seem to work.
