my girlfriend just bought an 03 mach 1 a few weeks ago. the car was/is stock. automatic, 47k miles. drove fine to me, felt fine.
she drove it alot over the first week or so. the check engine light came on, cylinder 8 misfire. we did the routine stuff, swapped coils, plugs, yada yada. i just did a compression check on it.
175 on all cylinders, cylinder 8 has 110. haven't yet done a leak down test, but one would believe it's in the head. all cylinders are burning good.
wasn't there a tsb for the cylinder heads on these cars? i had a termi a few years back, but forget the models.
MOST IMPORTANTLY; how should i handle this? car was purchased private party. where do i begin, things to say/not to say for potential dealership repair?
