Back your timing down a bit. See what that does for you.

Did you buy the car that way or did this just start... Stock cam? I had a non ho cam put in my 95 and messed up the firing order once.

I have a car doing this! I am so tired of dealing with it that its now sitting gathering dust until I can take it to a local hot rod shop. I have had it to a couple local mechanics just run of the mill shops and they couldn't figure it out... one told me my computer may be bad but since it was throwing no codes he was unsure. While your issue may not be the same as mine if you find a answer to your problem please share, thanks and good luck!
