dead engine help
so last weds i was driving home when i experienced a loss of power. i was doing about 85 down the highway when the motor just seemed to die. when i put the clutch in to down shift the motor just died. i pop started it at the bottom of the off ramp with around half power and anytime i stopped giving it throttle it wanted to die. finally came to a stop and she wouldnt start again.
i finally got her home and took a look at it. cant find my compression tester but did test by listening and have 3 good pulses from each front and rear rotors. i have spark and i think fuel. fuel can be smelled after cranking but i get no effort to start.
at one point when i pulled the leading front plug out fuel poured out of the pulg hole. so my friend and i came to the conclusion that i had a stuck injector. the primaries were suspect, so they were replaced with 2 spares i had (but unknown condition.) still no could not get it to start.
im out of ideas on what it could be, any help would be nice
cliffs:
lost power on highway

have fuel as far as i can tell
out of ideas
Thanks
