Think i may have blown a head gasket. Seems to miss and sputter when im not on the throttle. and sometimes under load it will just die out and comeback on. i replaced plugs wires dist. cap & rotor. havent had a chance to run a compression test yet. but it dosent seem like its using coolant? every head gasket leak ive come across they used coolant. oil looks fine. has me alil confused. has lots of power at wot, just miss at idle and cuts out once and a while (never acctually shuts off it just cuts out for a split second then kicks back in) Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Im gona do a comp. test sometime this week if i get a chance.

I would say check your ignition module, this is a symptom of one going out.
