    what does this sound like to you?

    I was driving my car to work today, when all of the sudden there was a dramatic loss in power. it was hesitating and miss firing all over hell, i pulled over to inspect it, and the car idled perfectly fine. However a little rubber gasket, used to hold on my cherry bomb tail was smoking, suggesting that i had a very hot exhaust gas temp.

    what does the problem to this sound like?

    My diagnosis was is a failed Throttle position sensor.

              Too lazy to read everyone's response, but I think it's your coil.

                    I'm surprised no one brought up the coil. I would start by checking it.
