I have a 94 mustang gt and I've been having issues with poor performance, poor fuel economy, my car was backfiring quite a bit, hard start.
We re-timed the engine and It ran beautifully in 10 minutes we drove it up and down the street, so we parked it for the night, I start it this morning and boom disgusting idle it will hold idle at ~1200 then drop to ~700 and it will cycle that every 2 seconds or so, backfiring way more than what it was to begin with, and a faint clattering.
I'm suspecting timing chain is loose. id love hear some suggestions on what all it could be and how I should approach this
