I put in a new distributor coil, new ignition wires and spark plugs, everything is new from the dealership. When I drive for certain amount of time my car stalled and died out. When I step on the gas im not getting alot of power and thats when it stalled. Before everything was working good until I changed the coil because it was burnt out. Driving is different now im not gettin the same power when I step on the gas peddle like before. HELP ME PLEASE!

Are the wires at ignition coil securely attached?
Did you check the ignition timing after changing the coil?
