i found a 89 4door wit 140,000 but they say only 3 cyls are workin and failed emissions but it runs strong . so is there any way i can get the 4th to work? is it even worth my time?

 

Uhm...if its only running in 3 cyl it isn't running storng....its worth less than $500 in my opinion would have to have a perfect rust free body with good paint to be worth it honestly, a new/replacement D series would be cheap but depends on your mechanical skills...

Umm, no.

If it's running on 3 cylinders, there is a 99% chance it needs another engine.

If you can do an engine swap yourself, and the body looks clean enough to last a few years, offer them a couple hundred bucks. If not, find something else.

 

no its not....find yourself a clean EF that is runningn good...they are out there just look...

ok its only for $200 how much for a d series u think?

 

D-series = $200-$500

Don't let the low purchase price of an engine fool you.

You will still need general maintenance items such as the timing belt & tensioner, water pump, accessory belts, clutch & pressure plate, rear main seal, air/fuel/oil filters, engine oil, trans oil, and coolant at a minimum. You should budget at least an extra $100 for misc. items you may need during the swap as well.

And that's just for the engine. There's no telling what else the car needs (brakes? axles? fuel lines? etc.).

 

thanks everyone

How is the body ? Do a compression test and see if that cylinder is bad on a compression.

A cylinder not working could be something simple like a spark plug wire, but depending on how long its been like that, could be bad
