car is sputtering badly.......

i was driving on the freeway at about 3000rpms and the car randomly started sputtering whenever i gave it gas. I parked the car at my buddies house and have been trying to diagnose whats going on. I pulled the plugs, and besides a little carbon the leading plugs were fine. When I pulled the trailings they were still wet with fuel (car hadnt ran in over a day). I tested the trailing coil and wasnt getting any spark from it so i replaced it, still with no change....

The car starts right up and since the build has never idled until it warmed up, its acting the same now except that it is realy rough when you rev it up, almost as if thereis way too much fuel in the chamber....

the car is a lg streetport, microtec, 60-1, 550 primaries and 1600cc secondaries

i already did and search and couldnt find anything useful....

someone help because i am sick of not having a car....

thanks

shawn

Could be a tps problem. Mine was at 640 ohms at idle and the car ran like crap. I adjusted it back to 1000 at idle and ran perfect. Vac leak.
