88 TC tune up problem

i recently gave my 88 tc a tune up plugs wires etc but now the car seems to be eratically jerking at no particular speed or time any ideas on what this could be timing is correct

Double, triple, and quadruple check your routing of the plug wires.

If it's more of an occasional buck / jerk while you're driving (and assuming the car is drivable at all), it could just be a vacuum / boost leak around the intercooler hoses.

Did you put the SPOUT plug back in? It will jerk and run like crap without the plug in.

ok now im stumped its hesitating again ran fine for a day but now its back any suggestions

Make sure the IC is properly seated in the IC hoses. Maybe one is slipping. It's tuff to get everything "right on" with the lower hose.

ok its definately not the ic runs solid and strong just a hesitation every so often. A sensor maybe Assuming that no sensors have ever been changed in that 124000 miles what sensors should i think about changing and ehat sensors might make it buck thanks for all the help

im also going to try to get it on a scope tommorow it just runs to strong to be anything major i Hope

Pull the codes and let us know
