soooo, i have been dumping money in my hoe non stop lately to try and fix this problem and nothing has worked, so far i have done the following: cold air intake, dual exhaust (first 2 things i do to every vehicle), plugs, wires, coil, cap and rotor, switched over my fuel injection from SCPI to MPI, fuel pump, fuel filter, throttle position sensor, 195 thermostat. After ALL that it still stumbles and did i mention i am getting 7-8 mpg WTF!!!! let me explain, when i am driving at a constant speed it is real noticeable like on the freeway but if i am romping around in town its not that noticeable also if i drive at 45mph then drop it down a gear and the rpms jump up it gets real bad and starts to spit and sputter and back fire. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! i am about to put a rag in the gas tank and watch the fire works because i am so frustrated

You must have installed injectors in wrong cylinders, the symptom points to that directly.

And make sure its timed correctly. It sounds like mine after I rebuilt the motor before I realized it had to be put on a computer for timing.

They only other thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned or replaced is the pump. Could be that, or maybe somethings wrong with fuel lines?

When you replaced the cap and rotor, did you replace the distributor shaft as well? That is also a possibility.
