yeah well i figured out why my car has been dying at low speeds. my third cylinder wasnt fireing until i got up and going. the intake gaskgett on it was cracked or chipped or somthing. so now i have to wait until monday when the part comes in before i can drive it again. (driving an 83 dodge ram right now ) :mad:

thats pretty high. especially if its all shit you couda done yourself. But then again (u have a n00b rating)... (no offense) ...u might not have had the guts/skill to take on a project like that yet. i know that when i start work on my engine t will be my frist time on the engine.....so im planning on lots of time and mistakes.

its not a matter of skill. i can learn stuff real quick. but i just dont have the time or patience to deal with it. and i dont know crap about the cyl.

Well that's what this site is here for, to help people for free, so you can possilbly do it yourself and save lots of money. I think I have saved probably a couple grand from doing it myself. Thanks to this website.
