need help before mike comes back!

I have about 2hrs to fig this out. here's what happening,

1: 3800 rpm hesatation
2: idles when parked (in nutral first starting up) as soon as you move it 1in it will not idle.
3: no power after 6K

mods: new sparkplugs/wires, gutted cats, new air filter (stock style) we did tape up the exposed batt cables too.

dont know what's wrong from search all I found was "gounding" or "tps is bad". but this is for on or the other. The car ran fine untell 2 days agon when is started all 3. My question is when can case all three at the same time I dout the grounding it the problem.

any help will be great.

thanks
Mage

Why dont you try upgrading the grounds real quick? Check to see if the firewall ground fell off.
