Default running strange???????????

Just got my car running. But it has a misfire that wont let me spool up! Also the damm EGT is reading almost 800 degrees with out pushing it and only crusing in 2nd gear. Any recommondation will be thankful to this problem. I also don't have the know senor hook up(broke) could that be the problem...............

I say you're tbelt jumped a tooth, does it feel like you bent a valve? rough idle? idle surge?

or does it feel like it breaks up during boost?

how does it idle?

plugs, wires? check the gap on the plugs, and check for running too rich...
