i was driving my 91 NA earlier and i took a right turn and it lost all of its power, ive checked air intake hoses, butterfly, and am about to check sparkplugs, is my engine gone or could it be something else?...

 

did the battery move and pop the terminals off? gotta be something else besides just "taking a right turn"...

 

no, everything is hooked up and appears to be fine, and the car ran to my house which was about a mile away from where it happened...

 

It ran to your house? but low on power?

 

yea, it was like someone was behind me pushing my car it had no power at all, i pulled the airpump yesterday bc it wasnt working, and it had no effect after i pulled it, also my car backfires real bad when i start it now and blows flames constantly, it blew flames before when i would redline it and slam a gear but now i can rev it to like 3 grand while sitting still in neutral and it will shoot flames...

 

sounds like a mad amount of fuel getting into the mix. imo

 

is the Air Control Valve still on?

 

I told you already. Compression check. We already knew it would let go very soon...that's what 70-80psi gets you.

 

Hey Kev, when you checked his, was it low on the rear and higher on the front like mine?

 

Hey kev, was his low on the rear and higher on the front like mine is?

 

not one of your engines, I hope, Kevin? j/k

 

I believe so, yes. Most 88 and prior will be lower on the rear, due mainly to oiling and cooling flow from front to back (rear recieves slightly heated fluids that have already passed through the front); 89+'s seem to be more 50/50 as far as which one lets go first...some attribute this to the electrical OMP's inaccuracy.

Not yet, no. IN a few months, yes

As far as I know, mine are still going strong.
