Pretty much everything is new on my car, except the hole ignition system. could it be running like shit because its not getting enough spark? Would a new MSD ditrubutar and wires, ect. get rid of the jerking and back fire?<br /><br />Also, The car does not want to stay on at all. i have no idea what it could be that it dosent want to stay on and idle. Would a chip make my car idle and stay on? Any help would be appreciated.

(I was told that it could be tuned to run 42's with a chip.
