Just when the car starts to run "ok", it hits th efan again.
Over the last couple years, weve had a prob with it jumpin time. SO we would tear it down, reset the chains and stuff, put it back together, and it would run good for awhile. Then the alt went back in dec. so we fixed that. Started the car, dead, again, stupid timing. SO we buy all new chains, tensioners, guides, arms. everythign under the timing cover. Fix it all, runs, but then it would have a oil pressure light only at idle. And if left at idle for about 30 secs, it would stumble, and try to die. SO we let it sit for awhile. then we decided to see how it was running. My mom was driving it for about the last two weeks, doing fine. I took it for a few test drives, to get as much old gas burned as possible, doing xxx mph on the highway. she ran just fine. Well then, it started to have a lil hesitation when getting on the gas in a spirited manner, which meant, it didnt happen when my mom was driving it.
But now, it has gotten to the point that as soon as you try to take off, roll off the clutch, you look like a first time driver trying to learn a stick shift. it bucks, and jump and cuts in and out like crazy.
so we changed the plugs, just changed the fuel filter, still does it. But, when its in neutral, and you rev the hell out of it, it does attempt to fall on its face. Sometimes when you push in the peddle, it will rev a lil, then "force" itself through about the 2500-3500k rpm range, and just rev like normal. But now, it just putters a lil, and then revs fine. But as soon as you try to drive, boom back on its face.
Any ideas?
We're at a loss, with my mom being kidan stranded with no car, and fighting a workmans comp battle and not being able to work.
