Flame from exhaust and major power loss, whats wrong?
Tonight i was driving in the rain, and i got on the gas little bit. Wheelspin all the way through 1st, shift to 2nd with no traction in sight... I watch the tach rise to 6000rpm and then POP.. the RPM swings down and i instinctly let off. Idle is fine at this point, everything is normal except for the fact that after 3000rpm there is NO POWER.....
I get home and it drives perfect under 3000rpm.. but if i mash the throttle, its as if there is NO power, im thinking its misfiring. According to my friend who was following me, he heard a POP and saw a small flame from my exhaust.. IM pretty damn sure its the distributor, since ive been having CONSTANT problems with the Crank angle sensor and it misfires all the damn time.. any other ideas?!

i would say check the spark plugs.
you may have broken a tip off.
but this is just speculation.
just start checking ****
check for spark check for fuel
replace the plugs, etc etc

im almost positive its the distributor... is this a chronic problem with these cars?? is there another way to fix this other than buying a whole new distrib?
