engine started running weird out of the blue
not sure if its a fuel system problem
ignition system prob
ecu
injector prob
I changed the distributor cap and rotor and no changes. Car used to run 100% never had a problem with it, super bummed can't figure it out.
Runs like its got half the power or not really like its bogging.
Engine has good compression.
HELP!!!

Do a full tuneup. plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, everything unless it has been done very recently. If so inspect it closely.
While it's ldling pull one spark plug wire at a time. See if the idle drops more on some cylinders than others. If so you have problems with specific cylinders. If not then you have a general problem that's affecting them all.
Start going through the diagnostics and troubleshooting sections of the FSM.

Wouldn't hurt to check but it should show up on a compression test.
