Hans-

When did this condition start...suddenly?...gradually? after you futzed
with something?...since Christmas? Back track from there.

If you have 145 on all four, than eliminates problems with intake, &
compression. That leaves exhaust, fuel and ignition. You have done some
work to the ignition, form the symptoms you describe, timing *could* cause
this...but it wouldn't be my first guess.

Did you check the timing? Fuel pressure? Is the exhaust flowing freely? Try
those. Could be a clogged Catholic Converter or a bum Fuel pressure
regulator/restricted fuel filter. These are pure guesses.
