low hesitation at idle like it will jump then about 7 seconds later do it again. but the tach does not move at all. and it does it when going from a stop, the car also has no power at all really.

No CEL right. Possibly could be a bad ignition coil. How do the plugs look? Check wires, possibly high resistance. Cap? Rotor?

roger the reason why i asked if you have a cel is because i had one onetime and it came accoss as a cranck angle sensor which is in the dist so i took the distrib apart and there was some wires in the dist that had the insulation worn out on it

96+ Cars the crank angle pickup sensor is on the oil pump.

Well I hope its not the cap wires or coil because all of those MSD items. and I just replaced the plugs about 1500 miles ago and they looked normal. I also just took the cap off no water but the distibutor was rather warm to the touch and the car has been of for about an hour.

Measure resistance between the plug wires. Also the resistance of the ignition coil. Hows the maintenance on other items: Fuel filter etc.

and I have never replaced the fuel filter but supposedly it was done when a new gasket was installed about a year ago.
