hopefully one of the EFI guys will chime in- this is a little newer than i'm used to working on.

if you blew the muffler up, that was gas getting into your exhaust, and then getting lit (ie- flooded).

when it started cutting out on you, were you getting any black smoke out the tailpipe?
maybe an injector is leaking?

any codes?

Take off the Dist cap and see if you can turn the rotor by hand.
