98 gsx auto

[ceth17]

i want to buy this 98 gsx but the bad thing is its auto. he said that it feels like it has a lose of power im thinking boost leak. when he bought the car he had a list of the mods for the previous owner but lost it. the real only problem is he didnt get the title put into his name but the previous owner has already sighed it and i idles fine after about 1 minute. so should i try and get it

Alot of lifter tick.Bov is uncirculated, coils look wired weird.Fan wiring looks hacked up.Sounds like the firing order is dead wrong.Mine sounded like that when I didn't replace the wires one at a time.

Looks hardpiped,intake pipe, stock manifold heatsheild.Possibly knockoff bov, but I couldnt see it.

Whats the price, and milage?

Gotta love when people think revving the hell out of an engine not running right is going to do something positive.

I think thats to keep it running based upon how it started cold....

Actually for 2500 with 97k.IF only wrong firing order and replacing bov, I would buy.

But that's looking on the bright side.The engine could be F-ed.Which would drop the value alot.But then make it cheaper, and make a project.

that is a good price. But that motor didn't sound to good.

Even better for an engine.

he said that the motor was good i was trying to hear for any knocking but didnt hear anything.and how would i fix the wrong firing order?

Compression numbers on said good motor...? And auto isn't a bad thing. Faster in the quarter, more consistant, cheaper to build, less shock on the driveline.

im sure he doesnt know them if i can get the title worked out im going to be getting the car

 

[Bud92gsx]

So compression test, and fix the firing order, and see if it runs super healthy.

im sure he doesnt know them

So test it yourself... I know I would prior to buying it.
