So yesterday i went to start my car up (it was off for only about 2 hours) when i went to crank it the car made a really weird noise like if something big fell. then i cranked it again and it started up but the car felt as if only one rotor is working. the car is driveable but it is VEEEEEEEEEERYYYYYYYYYYYY slow like it takes me a good 1/4 mile to get to 40 MPH and the car sounds like crap. any ideas? its a 86 fc3s.

 

Sounds like it's time for a compression check

 

yea ive been meaning on doing one i just havnt found time. oh yea and another thing it does is backfire ALOT... i mean my car always backfires but not that bad. it pops like a popcorn popper over and over again.

 

Dude, just shut her down until you verify that you didn't blow a seal...

Get some numbers...

 

yea luckily im in the process of buying an S5 TII engine so if it is a seal... ill just have to put her to sleep for a while. and when she wakes up she'll be a monster
