I've tested the ignition module & pick up coil,& as I said the knock sensor,map sensor are new, I'm at a stand still,all new plugs,wires,distributor cap & rotor,Please does anyone have any advice or ideas,
what is the back pressure ? I would open the exhaust up stream of the cat converter see if it runs better. what about the heat riser that open ?

fuel evap valves working properly these can suck extra fuel into the engine and melt down the converters.

EGR replaced the last 10 yrs ?
