This car was running good until the heads were cracked by running it while the radiator had a hole it in(hot). This car sat for about 2 years in the summer and winter before New heads were installed by me and my dad. When we started the car the idle was too high. We took it to a local shop and they fixed it. Drove it for about 200 miles and it cut off and wouldnt start. We tried over and over to start it and it started backfiring, then it sounded like a vacuum while tryin to start it after that. Took it to a shop and they put a new starter, distributor cap and rotor. They still couldnt get it to start but it was tryin to turn over, so they unplugged the O2 sensors and it stayed started. Here are my questions, Do you think we flooded the engine and damaged the fuel injectors trying to restart and restart? or do you think we just need new 02 sensors? if so well then why is the car is stalling and lacking power, I damn near have to step on the pedal hard for it to accelerate?
MEINIEKE MUFFLERS said there's a crack in the passenger manifold but we already knew that when we bought the car, that wouldnt stop the car from running bad.
Here's what we replaced brand new
RADIATOR
WATERPUMP
STARTER
DISTRIBUTOR CAP (ROTOR)
NEW PLUGS AND WIRES (AFTER AND BEFORE WE GOT IT HOME BOTH TIMES FROM THE SHOP)
REMOVED CATALYNTIC CONVERTER (MUFFLER SHOP)
3 OIL CHANGES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS
