    Should I buy a 96 GT with blown up motor???

    Heres The deal. Im thinking about selling my 89, and buying a 96 GT with a blown up motor. The description I got was this; cruise set at 75 and all of a sudden the car started to slow down. A puff of smoke in the rearview mirror, and then the motor died. There is a residue in the engine...

    tps stripped out??

    I pulled the tps off to check it, and the blue ring on the inside looks like its suppose to have two teeth. The teeth look like thay are stripped out, and when you put the tps back on without the screws it does not catch on the peg. Is it suppose to catch?

    Tried to do cylinder test today, and during the first test i could feel each of the injectors cutting out. Then, the only codes it kicked were 99 and 77. Now I am assuming this is related to th tps, so I pulled it out and checked it. The blue ring on the inside looks like it may be stripped...

    New car No power

    I am not clear on how to apply 5in of vaccum to the egr valve. How would I do this? Secondly, whether some of you find it silly or not, I am not so good with a dvm. Of course it could be a cheap dvm and that why its giving me problems, but I will try with a different meter. And thirdly, to...

    New car No power

    In less than ten minutes, 2 replies. That is awesome. The best way for me to explain would be as such: When you accelerate and start shifting you feel it in almost every gear. Strong hesitation. No matter how hard I mash on the gas, the engine starts hesitating and it is very distinct. If you...

    New car No power

    In a nutshell: Bought a 89 lx notch. It is a 4cyl conversion. Everything is still mostly stock except for motor, computer, and a few other things. Right off the bat, get the car home and it runs horrible. Idle was surging real bad and there was a dead miss in the motor. Did a tune-up and...
