hi so i've got a problem i can't figure out, i've got a 98 200sx 5spd with a CAI, and my engines having trouble. The "service engine" light starts flashing if i try to give too much gas (or enough gas to maintain highway speeds) the engine is vibrating more than normal, and can't handle any lugging, I have no power at all, like I was on the highway doing 60, dropped to 4th and floored it and basically nothin happened, my engine got real loud but i didn't go anyfaster. It sounds really uneaven. It feels kinda like how my friends car felt when he got water in his engine, but it hasn't rained, i washed my car but covered the intake with a bag when i did and that was like 3 days ago.
my uneducated guess would be that i have a sensor that went bad (O2 or MAF or somthin) but i don't know how i figure out exactly what it is, a part of me wants to say that it might be a bad spart plug or a problem in the distributer but idk
Any help woudl be much appreciated, I hate paying the shop to do anything
