Were the headgaskets ever replaced? I know my '90 t-bird was sluggish when I blew the headgaskets with coolant getting in the cylinders and all. Any white smoke coming out the back or large amuonts of condensation?

Exhaust, a full cat-back exhaust will help out a lot, change the oil, have a tune up done, belts, etc. just read the manual for what needs to be done at what mileage

It is definitely the head gasket...I had the same problem a few months ago with my 95 and it took me awhile to save up the money and then the guy that did it took his time...and I actually just got it back Monday...if you know someone who works on cars, ask them first, cause it is expensive...also, look into a new engine...it might be the better route.

Click to expand...

it sounds like a timeing issue, if its backfireing thu the air filter it means your intake valve is not closed during the power stroke of the engine. its hard to say with out hearing or driving it my self. but the sluggesh then gets power also points to a timeing problem.
