Welcome to the boards ,
Have you done a tune up yet? And what kind of condition is your distrubitor in? And maybe a little more info about what you have done to your engine would help alot.

distributor...definitly. Coil packs really didn't start going on cars until the mid to late 90's. A few had 'em before, but I think they were mostly Mercades and Volvos that had 'em. DO THE TUNE UP. Works wonders for your fuel milage and power.

F-bodies didn't get coil paks until 93. fwd cars had them in the late 80's.

I've actually been here since June when I bought the car, just rarely post. Just sold the 'Maro though, and the person who bought it was wondering whether it had a distributer or a coil pack, and since I never bothered changing any of the plugs, wires, etc. I didn't know. Thanks, though.
