Talking My Rebelious 7 (can't find a solution, what's wrong with my 7?!)

sorry if this post is an abvious topic that can be easily searched. I couldn't find an answer since I my self don't know wth is happening.

about a month ago, due to the intakebox rubbing against the coolent hose riped and sprayed coolent all over, also causing my engine to overheat.

luckily I was by my friends park so I immidiatly shut down the car and towed it to lucky7.

and they serviced me with the parts and did the compression trest.
the results were : front rotor: 97-89-88 psi
rear rotor : 103-104-105 psi
so I am aware that the engine has had an reasonable reason to loose power and perforamce as it did.

but the problem I am facing these days seem to be unrelated to the past injury.

on good days it will go smooth, driving no more than 3.5k rpm
however, when I go past 3-4k rpm, the car accerleration is skippy, bouncy? It's like if I was taping the gas on and off but I'm not.
and when I do this on 2nd or 3rd, and I let go of the clutch, even when I step on the gas, it won't respond for a bit!
and that's not all, the rpm will go up and down the whole day.
then the next day, if lucky, it will treat me nice.

btw, I have changed my sparks, t body, tps and nothing has improved.

a friend told me it might be the injectors leaking.

I do plan on doing a rebuild at lucky7 asap, around feb? If my car can hang around till then.

if you have any idea or advice, I would appriciate it guys

The car is hesitating at 3800RPM sounds like. Very common as the cars gain miles and get older. A super duper ground cleaning usually fixes this.

I'm pretty sure it was installed properly, I went through 2 TPS...trying to find the most healthy one. And DK adjusted it, so I'm sure it's not TPS

Remove the electrical grounds to your chassis one at a time and thoroughly clean both sides of the contact (chassis and ground wire) to ensure proper grounding of electrical components. While you're in there, adding a few more grounds won't hurt either.
