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. G.
