Could someone tell me why my 87 LXi startspopping and loses power above 5000 rpm. It idles find and power is good to that point but then it sputters and pops. I'm also gettin a code 12 from my ECU, should I clean the EGR or just replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replace the EGR. Get a new distributor cap and rotor, also try plugs and plug wires. Are you getting enough fuel? Have you checked your timing? I've seen cars not run at all and only need a fuel filter. If none of that works then you may need a distributor. I know I just mentioned alot, do you have any other info?
mostly it is your EGR problem. fix that and you sould be OK.
PS. you may want to remove the picture of that girl in your avatar. We are trying to keep this board work office friendly.
