Yea I’m happy, got the car running good.
Hope to have my oil leak solved, the feed line to the turbo was leaking where the 90* elbow is. So I tuned the elbow around again.
Coolant leak is the Water Pump.
I replaced it with my spare, which i thought was good, yesterday but this one leaks too, so the front has to come apart again.
The engine still isn’t able to pick up speed with over 10pis, it having a missing problem, but I think my ignition module (they came with the used engine) is starting to go cuz the car cant idle right and the tach jumps up and down. So I will switch al that and get the water pump.
Thanks for hearing me and all that said I should keep it, thanks for not letting me lose this car
BTW how could you let me think of replacing my TC with a mustang! They don have shit for these car in the corners and smoothness too! O it feels good to hear that turbo, well till 10ps, then I hear it miss, lol, but its great!

Get some new plug wires!!Everyone told me the same thing when I had a miss,and I thought they were off because I had a set of motorcraft wires that were less than 6 months old.Guess what happened next?I threw a set of new store brand wires on it and for lack of a non-plagerized phrase ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM....!Get a set from a chain store that way,if you try it,and your problem isn't fixed you can take them back.What could it hurt??

Yea I had my TC motor sitting on the garage floor and when I first got it running again it ran like crap. I tried to set the timing and got shocked. My wires were about 8 months old with less than 3k miles on them. I put on a new cap plugs and wires and the car ran great best $50 I ever spent on the TC [Image: smile.gif]
