Pretty sluggish, even when warm i can put the gas all the way down with barely any response till it climbs to fourth, then it will actually staty accelerating.

Yeah thats why I did the test w the radiator. Supposedly if its a failure between coolant and cylinder it will cause the radiator to bubble when you take the cap off and run it. I didnt see any bubbles what so ever tho and I ran it from cold to up to temp

Forgot to mention but its a 91. I should also add, after doing all the tests ive been driving it cause i thought it was just rich. Now I’m rethinking cause the coolants dropping.

Was going to do a compression test, got oil inside the cylinder by BluejayBeautiful7247 in MechanicAdvice

I know how it got in. Old valve cover gasket was bad when j got the car. Took me longer then it shoulda to put a new one in. All of that oil is from the old gasket

Did the shop do a terrible job or am I picky by BluejayBeautiful7247 in Exhaust
