Hello everyone,
My name is Lyndon Wesson from Baltimore, MD. I just inherited a 92 CV w/42 k. The car has been sitting for the past 2 1/2 yrs. Needless to say the car is a mechancial nightmare! So far I Have fusuhed all on the major fluids and changed the plugs, but the car is running horrible. The oil pan, brake and fuel line are rusted to almost nothing. No rear brakes (probably related to the lines). My 1st is to get the performance back. The car stars fine but idles rough. WHEN I put the car in gear and accelerate it starts to stumble unless I hold it in first. Once it shift to 3rd or 4th it loses power, especially on hills at highway speed. Any help would be appreicated. * I have been a GM man all my life and this is the first Ford I have ever owned.
Thanks in advance
Lyndon |

it sounds to me that if your loosing power in your higher gears,and its running ruff your timming chain might have jumped ,you might need to replace the timming chain. i would start by ajusting your timing and going from there  [quote] |
