sorry its a erst 89. i am sure i want to do it myself, i am a capable mechanic as long as i have step by step instructions.

the timing is -2 off tdc. i dont know if that is of any help.

and talking about farting, the car pops when i try to start it, that was before, now it wont even do that. Itd pop from the exhaust, sounds like air is in there somewhere. could say its as loud as a misfire, but the revs dont drop.

also, when it started, for me to get it to rev at all, i had to have the accelerator pedal completly floored, and the revs would increase very very very slowly from 500 to 1200, and then after that it would rev normally.

about the followers, when i took the car to the garage, thinkning the only tapping/knoking sound wass coming from under the rocker cover, they found a couple of the follwers pushed out. so they replaced them, but then we heard the actual knocking coming from the bottom end. thats been complely rebuilt, but the cam hasnt been touched. ive ive been told that signs of camshafts going are being powerless major running problems. and believe me it was POWERLESS! now it wont start!

can i adjust the mixture myself without a CO2 reader? or is that a pro job??
