Ran Great, Then Started Running Bad While Driving, Cylinder Out???

[torbs]

hey, here's whats goin on. the car was just running fine and then all of a sudden just had no power. it shakes a lot in the lower rpms and backfires when you rev it. it feels like a cylinder is out. it still starts right up and all gauges look good. also, the check engine light is on...what could be my problems? any help appreciated.

Go get the code read, it can be done at like.. any auto parts store.

but yeah, most likely you got a dead cylinder

Sounds like your power transistor for the ignition went out. I have had this happen several times. The ecu will throw a code for the camshaft angle sensor when it goes out. Dont ask me why but it just does.

took spark plugs out and after 100 miles of use they are very light brown, almost a white color...lean perhaps? but i got 750cc inj and a safc, so that shouldnt be the problem. im also running factory boost on a garrett t3/t4 57 trim...idk if this helps narrow down the problem or not...hopefully it does.

turned out that my balance shaft is way off causing the motor to shake and what not causing the injectors not to get a signal due to their wire being "shakin" off...simple solution....later
