I have had my turbo tbird for a long time. It is an '86. with high milage, but I have pretty much kept up the repairs and maintenece on it. Lately I have noticed that when the rpm's went high as I put a demand on it it would start to miss. I checked the timing and it is right on the money. I especially noticed the missing when the turbo boosted. Recently it started missing sometimes even when the turbo was not boosting. I have tried to not use the car much until I figured out what the problem is. I went to go to the store last night and it ran so rough even at idle and was consitantly missing that I left it parked. I popped the hood to take a look and noticed that the black air intake hose that goes to the turbo charger was coated in a sort of greasy film that I never noticed before. I am starting to think the head gasket has gone bad and is getting gradually worse. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. thanx. I hate to junk this old gal has been quite faithful to me and I have come to love her.
