ok so i had the timing belt and water pump replaced. my catalytic converter was stolen while it sat for a few months waiing to have that done. anyways, i got that done and drove it 3 times to worki and back with no issues other than i have to jump it off to crank it, which has me baffled because its not the battery or alternator. wello, the shifter linkage bushions broke the third time i drove itso i spent another 2 weeks parked trying to get that done, but finally i fashioned that back together and slapped the console back on there, checked the fluids and drove it to work with no issues, it even started fine. on the way home though, the mil started flashing and it started running real rough and less power , so i pulled over and googled what it could be... sat there a few hours but no rescue came for me so i had to limp her home, luckily i had the jumper box with me because now its doing that again. the mil didnt flash again until i pulled out on the road and same deal, running rough and less power, it felt like the motor and transmision was having a wrestling match under there! there is way toomuch movement of my engine and i think it is going to fall out. i have a buetooth code scanner thing, but i honestly dont know what to do with mot of the features this thing has. i have the codes though and can try to add the data log if i can find the file... but i know for sure it has p0300 po303p0304, so cylinders 3and 4 a misfiring, and theres a whole lot about o2 sensors and stuff that was already readng that pertain to the cat being gone, i also dont have the fuel cap, and there was already codes before the timing belt replacement about secondary air pump and others that said possible 'short to ground' under explanation but it has never run rough like that and ever since that i have not drove it except for running a fe times just while i was tryig to get help working on it, but nobody will do anything more than tell me to sell it and walk away, or that it is fine andi dont know what im talkig about. so, when i first start it, it seems ok, and mil is only on, but if when i go up the drive by the time i hit 3rd, something happens, rough running, missimg, motor rocking, mil flashing. drop back down 2nd and after a second it calms down aggain. while beginning to check into some of this stuff, learning as i go, i discover MORE ****! thdipstick tube was stuck and broken peieces of plastic were stll there up under the whastever that is, manifold?? i have a couple pics to start with that i need hlp identifying stuff and direction on.. i just need to know that i dont have destroyed heads or blown head gasket, or aother catastrophic fails, i give up on restoring and upkeeping this darn car, i simply cannot do anything with it and am havung the absolute worst strung of bad circumstances piled up all at once and i cant get anywhere bcause this stupid freaking car wont stop breaking and its too hard for me to get it worked on, and i live in a nowhere ass town with nothing available for resources so i am just stuck and homeless and rideless and cant get a ride to work, cant get a ride to get parts that i cant afford! that being said.. i will sell it if anybody would buy it!
