Have been pretty into cars for the last ten years or so.. unfortunately my previous interests were within the import world.. I used to drive a honda civic with a larger motor and nitrous.. it was reasonably fast but the timing belt went one day and i decided i was over it.. sold the car off and bought a 91 LX
MAJOR ISSUE
I have had the car for a little over a week and only really drove it twice.. it has several annoying issues that any old car would have... most of which im not really worried about... but it does have one major issue.. and including as much information as i have..
* at approximately 1700 rpms under light throttle the car drives like ****.. it sounds as if its missing and just driving poorly..
* at that same rpm under heavy throttle the issue is barely noticeable...
* at idle the rpms surge lightly (up maybe 300 rpms then back down)
* the car sat barely driven for approximately 8 months...
* the car as far as i can tell is pretty stock has 170k miles has headers and exhaust
I plan to change the plugs and do an oil change saturday when i get done work... just wondering if there are other things i should be aware of.. other things that are easy to check.. recommendations to remedy the problem..
SMALLER ISSUES
* heat doesnt blow very hot (but coolant was also pretty low.. filled it back up this morning will check to see if it goes back down)
* front seat sucks and back part wont come up far enough.. it may also have that lean that is typical with mustangs but the lack of adjustment is more annoying than the lean..
* cruise control does not appear to work
* center chrome looking map light thing does not light up
ive done some searching on the major issue but didnt really see anything exact.. any help would be really appreciated..
thanks
Anthony
