1992.5 7 bolt Non-Turbo.

Just started other day.

Car can run fine, and then out of no where, its like it loses power for 1 second then it returns... Sometimes it, will lose power backfire and then go.

Kind of weird???

I'm thinking, MAF, Cam sensor.... or TB?????
 
Yea, like it kinda of sounds like the car misses maybe once a every couple seconds at idle. Vrooommmmmmmmmm pa vrooommmmmmmmm... Then sometimes when you go to take off from a stop, it will lose power then jump and go, it also does this crusing....

Acceleration it usually does not do this. Usually fine on acceleration.

All I remember is one time, I hooked up a bad ECU, and it made the car run like crap, and I saw smoke come from under the panel area....I shut the key off, and put a different ECU in, and seemed to be just fine.......

Then this started, So all I remember messing with is, installing a Short ram intake, and putting that ECU in... whichs sucks cause I just installed a good one today...
