1st time ford owner

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

i might just be retarded, but im still wonderin, whats a CV? boy do i feel stupid. but anyways if it where me i would fix the brakes first. i allways figured its better to beable to stop it than to worry about movin it! lol

CV = Crown Victoria

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]

First of all i would look for vac leaks efi ford were real touchy when it came to vac pressure if your map sensore is not getting enough vac it will run like shit trust me i kno ive got a 1987 Thunderbird and i had the same fuckin problem.
