Does anybody know they're way around an 87 grand nat turbo engine. I want to buy one and test drove the car andit did funny things. Ran fine until I gave it the gas at around 50 mph. It downshifted as it should, began to pull pretty well then power fell off and I think i may have heard some pinging. Also the turbo boost gauge is not working. The owner says that this is a recent problem. I am not afraid of having to fix some things,I just don't want to uncover a really expensive one. Also there is an exaust leak under the car. Thanks for any help given. P.S. the 455 Skylark is staying this car would just be a buddy to hang with in the garage!
I now alittle about it. First is it bone stock? Without a boost gage their is no telling how much boost. That can cause a world of problem's. I live down 75 in sadieville if you need some help looking at the car.
Thanks for answering. Yes bone stock. Just wanto make sure I am not buying a money pit. It is a pretty nice car at a good price.
My answer to you would be , It propably needs vacumm hoses, intercooler hoses, and the intercooler cleaned out. Passager side valve cover vent filter and the little hose from intercooler to valve cover taken off and plugged. If you need more help call me @ 1-859-234-1488. I have had mine sense I ordered it.
