This may sound silly, but have you tried unplugging the battery to reset the ECM?
Im not sure if the tpi 305 has a MAP or MAF sensor or both, but one of these sensors could be the problem...
Did you ever manage to pull any trouble codes?...Often times if one of these sensors go out, it will be a while before a code actually pops up...
