Did you buy some cheap cap from Auto Zone because I have heard ton's of people getting junk from them? My buudy next door bought some cheap Auto Zone parts for a tune up but after he placed them on his truck ran even worst the new cheap Auto Zone wires had three bad wires.

no i had a local shop do it and my family is good friends with them. and it doesnt backfire its just like i lose all power in the turn of the key. its like when you crank over the starter when the engine is running or just started
idk guys its bothering me though
