Hey guys, been lurking for awhile now learnt my fair share of colt stuff from here, but now im stumped.
1992 dodge colt gt 4g15 5speed 340xxx kms.
Ive had it for about 8 months now, when i picked it up i just diddled around takin it easy, as time went on i drove it harder and harder. Than i was chewing through tires like nothing so i chilled out.
now my issues are; when i fire it up in the a.m it leaves black on the ground, stanky black nastyness, alot too.
when its cold i need to sit in it and watch the revs otherwise it sometimes decides to die or keep going, it runs like CRAP
untill it reaches temp. when driving and i let off the gas, pop bang bang pop, more than i seem to think it should(it has muffler delete, but still backfires more than i think it should. It also had major powerloss below 3k and was doing the suby, So i checked the timing, wayyyyy off. Now the dizzy is cranked all the way clockwise, and it runs decently better than before, but has that hollow power sound out the exh, and feels like it is lacking power, i know it doesent have much but i know what it had before it decide to choke.
What are the common failures with these csm cars?
I have changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor, dizzy, seafoamed the intake.
im hoping its just one of the sensors, otherwise i will redo the ignition and mechanical timing?
you boys know your colts, and i made the change from honda to here, so any help please
