Change the gasket. It is an easy fix.

If a cat gets clogged you will end up with less heat. I would not even consider that as part of the problem. Just fix the leak as others have suggested. Oil does have a low flashpoint and becomes very volatile when heated.

now that i have my getto fix until payday (super absorbent rag, zip-tied to the line till monday), i cant even drive it... i got in the car today and started it up and it didnt go up to 1700 rpms like normal, it just sat at 900...i push the gas pedal...no difference...push again...nothing. so i popped the hood and pushed the pedal again and i saw the throttle cable jumping, but no response

and i know it needs a new cap and rotor...but would that keep it from having any throttle response

[shepherd79]

do you see throttle linkage move or does the cable moves and nothing happens?
may be you have broken cable.

[digitalx]

i see the cable move...but i dont know where the t. linkage is

[Blkblurr]

Is the cable attached to the linkage on the carb? Is the throttle plate in the carb moving?
