Timing Question

95mustanggt · 05-17-2001, 08:50 AM

I just had the wife take the 95 GT in for a tune up. Now the car is not running so great. My wife says that the car feels like it's missing. I'm thinking that the guy who did the work adjusted the timing but didn't know about my chip (which plays with the timing). Could that be causing the poor running condition of my poor car?

Idea's?

Yes it could. I would suggest getting a timing light and check the timing your self. Like the old saying says "If you want it done right, do it your self". I know a lot of mechanics that are clueless.

yep, I talked to the guy to see what he did, and he's all "I dun't to nuthin'"

Guess the next time I'm in Edmonton I'll have to work on the car myself...

Right you are! Changed and re-gaped them all.
