Cars Running Lousy

RoadWarrior · 07-30-2002, 12:13 AM

Well today i decided i would take my car out for a spin and now its running like crap. Since i forgot to turn on the fan it got to about 215 or so and then i hit the fan. And now it just seems to bog a bit right when i hit it and it also seems to miss at lower rpm but once i hit a certain point it clears up. Was that temp enough to blow a head gasket?Maybe my timing just got messed up or something. What do you guys think.

Hey,

Why don't you check out your TPS voltage. I know that sometimes those go out of whack. My old stang use to have bog down to a certain rpm and then after that point it ran fine. Check it out .

I forgot to mention the problem is with my 82 so the only electronics are the MSD ignition and the choke.
