Stock 95 GT 5 spd 176000 miles - I know nothing of its past, bought it form a kid for $500.00 cause he doesnt know how to work on cars.
OK, car starts no problem. Idles a tad rough, no big deal. revs up just fine
Oil is perfect, no water no nothing
Engine bay is dusty but no big deal
NO CEL
Coolant is obviously old, but full and no leaks.
But when you try to drive it horrible back firing and basicly not really realistic to drive.
There is also a wire hanging down near the manifold and oil pan that looks alot like a O2 sensor broken off.
I am thinking either:
timing chain jumped a tooth (176K miles. duh)
or
during a plug wire change the previous owner screwed up the firing order. (evidence of this on the engine cowl, firing order all written wrong in black sharpy)
I am curious to all your opions and ideas.
Thanks
