First off, hello everyone and thank you for all the wonderful help and support I am sure to receive over the coming months, years maybe even decades! I have wanted a fox body since I first rode in one at the age of 15! I have finally decided to jump in and get one. I've been haunting craigslist for weeks now looking for a good deal. I'm probably going to be looking in the 2000-3000 range which I know is not much but I'm looking for something I can "depend" on to get me to and from work but also weekend warrior the tar out of!
On to the question:
The best prospect I have found so far is a 1988 gt convertible 5-speed with a d code motor. A little research revealed that was a 93-95 cobra motor, no idea if that is a good thing or not so could use some suggestions on that one.
The only problem is that it apparently is running rich and rough. I don't have any other information yet on that problem but the current owner has apparently replaced all the sensors, gaskets, etc.
Would this put me in over my head? I'm very mechanically inclined so I'm up for a challenge but I don't want to be stuck with a big, pretty paper weight! Thanks again all.
