airflow sensor on it a new fuel filter  gas
treatment,and the distributor looks new and
looks fine inside. it ran ok for a few days

less.whats going on??!!

No it is not in the transmission. What was the fuel pressure reading? And did you do a fuel pressure bleed down at the same time? What is common on these is the spider injection starts to leak.
