Too bad that you are not in the PNW. I would take it off your hands just to have as a project car.

If you are seriously considering looking for a car with a blown engine, just remember that you got into this one not knowing its running condition. A car with a blown engine would be a similar gamble.

 

And to think, this all started with a car that only needed an optispark. Sorry man, that just slipped out!!

 

Na its cool lol if I knew more about electronics I'd prob have it figured out but I don't even know where to start plus I really want a 6 speed

 

So is it possible its the torque converter

 

I don't think that it could the torque converter. Those things usually work or they don't. When they fail, they generally fail completely and don't work sometimes and not work other times.

I am still thinking that you have an electrical issue somewhere.

 

well if someone could help me out with some info on testing the electrical part id appreciate it very much otherwise im pulling the motor harness and comp and junking the rest of this car

 

well i pulled my original trans apart to find most of the clutches are burned up im gunna get a rebuild kit and see what happens

btw im only in this car about $1050 so if i can get her running and looking good for another $1000 i still feel like im getting a deal

 

so after not looking at the car for 3 day i decided to check the trans fluid and it was way too full so i drained out most of it and got it to the right spot. then took her for a drive she drove great shifted nice all the way up to 4th (i went to the gas station about a mile down the rd) got some gas and was heading home when she started to mess up again. when i ran out of momentum and had to stop it was like i was in neutral so i just sat there for a min or so (engine still running just in park) put her back in drive and she moved. got her back to my track and it did the same thing again i waited about a min and she moved pulled into the driveway and she didnt have enough power to pull up and into the garage... again i waited a min and as last she pulled right up the driveway into the garage... if its electrical why would just sitting have any affect i never turned off the engine i just sat there

 

Wow, that is pretty wierd. I can't think of a reason that it would do that. Maybe check with a local transmission shop. Describe the problem to them and see what they think. Just know that most will probably tell you that you need a rebuild or some such. But you just might get lucky and find a guy who can give you some ideas of where to look for the problem.

 

ya thats what i was thinking
