Default Problem with my Ef zc

ok well i got the distributor changed cuz i was getting code 8 TDC sensor. and i still need the code 7 TPS Sensor. ok well after i changed the distributor my car started throwing lot of smoke and my car wont go above 3rpm or else the motor would start shaking as if its going to die or choking what could be the problem and how could it be fixed ?

If it was totaly fine before you changed the dizzy, then timing is your problem.

well actually it was still the same after and before i changed the dist. but maybe it is the timing and prob also that i didn't calibrate the spark plugs so that might be causing the problem.

It might be the sparkplugs either bad one's or they need to be calibrated
