Alright, Still on the Hunt for the culprit of my, no power at all rpms, except when not under load. No load she revs up just fine WTF. Under load she don't do crap.

Which is slowly leading me, to Ignition or Fuel, or timing. Turning of cam sensor, seems to have no ill effect on rev's or accel. So I slightly ruled it out, but not completely.

ANYWAYS

I removed the coil.

Secondary is within spec, kinda high, 14.7k ohms i belive with a spec of around 15-15.3 k ohms in book.

Primary on the other hand.

I got 1.1-1.3 OHMS.

Spec calls for, 0.7 to 0.86 Ohms.

My primary is for sure out of spec. Would this cause a really bad misfire under load? I mean I have no power, car won't even go. I can hear misses but not all the time. She just won't go.

NO LOAD, she will rev to around 5k with a miss or 2. But that's it. Sometimes the car even takes off like a rocket for 2 seconds. Then falls on it's face.
