Oh and the other day I was climbing a steep hill and when I got up to the top and pulled over for some fuel the oil pressure dropped to zero then when I'd pick up the idle it would go back to normal so I panicked shut it down and checked oil then decided to reset the comp and it still did it an Said f it and kept going cause it was fine while driving and then it was fine ever since but this was with it throwing codes still I've been driving it like this for about a month haha

The oil psi sending units are sketchy at best, get an mech oil psi gauge and do a test see what you find there as well, pita to get to that sender though. I don't like the fact you have changed those injectors, got a part number for me? It could be fat/lean causing all kinds of problems.

If it were me, I would pull the jet chip, put stock injectors back in and check your sensors as suggested. You have a lot going on there and you might have more than one cause of the problem. If it is running like crap I would make sure my cat was in good shape, my O2 sensors were good and then see what my plugs looked like. I have heard of jet chips being buggy, so getting rid of that would be number one in my book. It might be fighting with your PCM and causing some of your issues.

Good luck on getting her back up to par. Keep us informed.

Ok ya it's not a jet it's a super chips programmer and I just switched the injectors back it still runs like crap so I'm gonna do a comp test later. If it was a 02 or cat wouldn't it throw some emission codes? Could the distributer itself be bad??

If it is an O2 sensor on its way out it may or may not throw a code. The only reason I suggested pulling the performance chip and going back to stock injectors is to get back to a level playing field. They may not be causing anything at all, but pulling them will take the mystery out of it. Just take it one step at a time. Do your compression test, get the mechanical oil pressure guage and make sure you have good results on both. Right now more than anything you are trying to find out what is right with it so you can narrow down what is wrong.

I am not certain about the dizzy, so someone else will jump in I am sure.
