Default missing or no power through driving range on B18c1

i have a 1994 ej1 with a 99 gsr swap B18c1 its been running awesome for like a year but last week the car started losing power on acceleration, it iddles perfect, no cel codes, and i just did a tune up when it misses my exhaust sounds like the car has no spark or fuel( i think it is the coil)

Process of elimination. How old is the fuel filter? What PSI is your fuel pressure set at? Are the plugs/wires/coil old?

i havent change the fuel filter in like a year,ok the fuel psi is at 40-45 psi
new wires(magnecors),new plugs, now i noticed my dizzy o-ring is leaking oil, also i have a p72 with a skunk2 manifold wannabe(lol, i cut a gsr mani in half and welded a type R mani to it)perfect fit. would the p72 make a loss of power or after i fix this get a new computer?

I have my P72 w/ Skunk2 IM, never bothered it. Does it backfire when it starts losing power?

Pull the plugs and check em out, then wires, cap/coil. Do you have an FPR & fuel pressure gauge or is it stock? Get that leak fixed BTW.

I didn't at first, then my car would cut out every once in a while, I took it out, put teflon on the threads and applied silicon to the copper washer. Works fine now.

Also make sure your fuel pressure is adequate. This was part of my problem as well. 38 PSI is stock, but mine doesn't like below 46 PSI now.

Like I said with mine, I feel bog below 46 PSI. I have a Walbro 255 and B&M FPR. I have it at 52 right now and it feels good, even with spray.
