Could my plugs be fouled???

I replaced my main cat about 500 miles ago!!

I put on the "Accel" racing yellow wires!!

Could it be my tps>>>i mean even when the car is standing still

Check your timing. Check your spark plug wire routing. Those accel wires are awful too, the stock ones are 100x better.
Always, do the basics first. Fuel, Spark/Timing and Compression. Start with that and work your way down.

Check your fuel filter. No fuel = no run very good.

All the question marks are super annoying as a start....
Sounds to me like a blown engine. Thats what it was for me in my 90 TII. (I bought it that way). Driver put in a new cat, which melted and formed enough back pressure to kill the motor. if the exhaust can't get out....
It would rev to 5000 rpm in 10 secs in neutral, would not accelerate at all, and had a top speed of 60 mph in 3rd gear. No compression on the rear rotor.
Swapped in a new engine and all was good.
Sorry dude.
