other than the intermittent top end miss it was running great, drove it out of town about 140 miles with no problems. got back home and all hell broke loose. it started missing really bad, runs rich. when i put on the timing light it seems to stutter like its got a spark miss.
i got to the point where i swapped everything out (computer/injectors/etc) with N/A stuff and it still runs like ****. No codes. I ran a compression test and for 110-120 on 1-2 and 4 and 90 on 3. they were done with the motor warm (not hot) and the throttle open. IT has lifter knock/noise coming from the area of cyl 3. i know that a wiped lobe or weak lifter will cause a low reading and a miss but i dont think that would cause the rich/loading up would it? im at a loss and am looking at scrapping the turbo car in favor of something more reliable as this is my daily driver and i cant be ripping into it every other night to fix the damn thing.
