Question need healp! my car acts stupid.

ok i have a 347 stroker efi with heads cam intake, 30lb injetors 75mm TB 76 mass air for the 30lb,up grated fuel pump. my car has been sitting for almost 2 years and ones i got my 347 back togeather and put in like 2 mounths ago i have replaced the TPSsensor, MAF sensor the water coolent senser and one o2 senser one by one cuz the ecu would pull up the codes that they were bad..

ok my car dont show any more codes and my problem is that it runs verry good and strong for a wile then it seems to crap out and it will do this all day every day and i cant figure it out so i hope some one here could help me out!!

what i meen by craping out i mean like it just loses power and trottle response
it dose not sputter or anything like that.

do u guys think my ecu is bad?

Restab the dizzy = remove and reinstall the distributor, making sure it is properly oriented and timed.

It sounds to me like your timing is off enough that advancing or retarding will not help.
