the motor wont turn up and lands on its face when you nail the throttle. i put new tune up and throttle sensor,iat and map sensor and crank sensor and fuel pump. when i pulled the plugs they were black and loaded up. checked compression and it pulled 130 across all 8. not sure if the pcm would cause it to do this looking for advice thank you.

did you check for any codes?
"when i pulled the plugs they were black and loaded up". sounds like it's running rich. could be O2's but you need to check for codes first. even if the MIL light isn't on.

the only codes i pulled were battery disconected and end of codes. it was a number 12 and 55. its in a 93 dodge if that helps.when you start it, it idles fine but if you give it gas and hold it there you can hear it miss fire and its almost sounds like some things retarding it and not alowing it to fire. im realy stumped

You won't see smoke with a bad belly pan gasket, but it will suck oil and while it could be something else, the symptoms fit.

changed belly pan gasket and intake gasket and pick up made a small difference. now it spark knocks when driving it. the throttle almost goes in stages you step on it and it will tack 2 grand and hesatate then 3 then 4 and so on.

yup just y pipe and about 4ft of straight pipe. i took it out of a 2 wheel drive and droped it in a 4wheel drive. i did some more tests and put the motor tdc and checked the distributer and it was right on. then i hooked a timeing light up and at a idle it was sparking but if you tuched the gas it lost spark till about 4grand and then it was weak. so not realy sure
