Dear Fory:

Sounds like you need some data. Why not go to NAPA and purchase the K-D ajustable spark tester.

With the tester connected to ground you should be seeing at least 20kv at idle (24kv is the ideal). Next take the car out on the road and when it starts acting up pull over and check the spark (you may need to make up a dark box to use the tool outside).

As for fuel, road test the car running from a 5 gallon jug. I've dealt with cases were there are chunks of stuff that clogs the pick up.
