oh yea...definitely. had just had the oil changed...everything was fine on the gauges.

well it was all a moot point...got the car to the shop for inspection...and on the way home...threw a rod :-(

We actually took the one off towards the front...it sounds like it has cams haha...gonna try and get a pipe welded there...won't pass inspection otherwise

yeah i knew it didn't really have much power...but this is jut weird. only happens sometimes...and only in first gear...i think it happened in 2nd once...but not since then. yeah the guy i bought it from i have a feeling it wasn't taken very well care of...this is my first (own) car...and so it's kinda in me to get it running and keep it running, I know that subs are reliable..once they're running right. That's just the point i'm trying to get it to...you know? I'll see what anthony thinks...cause I was at the muffler shop the other day and the guy said it sounded like only two of the valves were working right or something like that.

The timing was fixed in a shop so i'm not to sure...my bf would have to check it..he's the one that did it. I'm kinda low on gas, and when i go around corners, mainly to the right...the car stalls...so i'm gonna put some new gas in(been siting for more than a year) and see if that helps at all.

no check engine light on...mileage is a little over 197,000. i have brand new spark plugs and wires...and i've replaced the heads(cracked valve seats in the set that came on the car when bought), the intake mani...and that's it engine wise....just some ball joints.

OK...so I just had my 91 loyale in the shop...found out my timing was something to the effect of 24 degrees retarded...that got fixed...it runs better, however, it's still not as powerful as it should be. Sometimes when i take off in first..it has trouble initially going....like the emergency brake is on or something...It's confusing me..i don't get it. everything is hooked up that should be...except one vacumm line that runs across the top of the fire wall...but i honestly believe that's nothing(i'll get a pic if you want one) But other than that everything is hooked up. It also stalls sometimes when i come to a stop...it seems to do it more when the car has been running for a while...I don't think it's my shifting, however i could be wrong...i'll pay more attention...if it still stalls what do you think it could be? It doesn't do it all of the time...just sometimes...and it does it when i'm trying to park...maybe just a coincidence...idk. Any suggestions??? All help would be GREATLY appreciated ***I also just bought a new coil...haven't had a chance to put it on yet...will get to that tomorrow and will update everybody to let you know if it helps or not.

i will have that checked out tomorrow. it's at my bf's shop so i'll tell him. Thank you

Ok, so I found out that my 91 loyale is not stuck, or is no longer stuck, in 4wd, but that the light is staying on...anybody know why or can figure out why that's happening? The help would be much appreciated

Well this car has been previously owned...and from what I can tell, was not taken care of...so it wouldn't surprise me.

well here's the thing...(thank you for your advice tho)...there's a vac line that I believe is supposed to hook up to a switch on the tranny....but i don't see anything comming off the tranny that can hook up to it....there's a void from the line to the trans...i can't figure it out...

Ok...I have a 91' loyale that's pushbutton 4wd... The button is in the middle of the shifter...the put it in reverse thing has been tried and did not work...any other suggestions?
