    Easy stuff first..."sputtering & coughing with no throttle response"---check fuel pressure. If that's good be sure that the mass air meter wiring is intact. Next suspicion would be TFI module.

    Good luck,
    Jeff

    Thanks Jeff. I have a code reader and tomorrow I'll connect it to see if it is throwing any codes. I'll also check your suggestions.

    Welcome to the club, but I agree, better driving it than have it sitting in the garage. Mine happened when the ECU for the Powerjection died. Hope you get it sorted out soon
