I just bought this 1995 Talon TSI FWD. AS IT IS, NO WARRANTY

This thing has a rough idle. Yesterday i took it PepBoys and got Fuel Injectors cleaned. [ No good ]
They told me i have a valve problem in cylinder 1 and 3.

Now i just got an estimate to fix that with [ hoses, timing belt and stuff ]. $1500. mannnnnnnn!!!!

Do you guys suggest anything ? [ Cheaper is better ]

Or
another questions --

Is it gonna cause engine to fail soon and stop running or just that i am not getting the performance. ?

Thx
Paul

Have you done a compression check and a leak down?
If not, do so. If the difference between all cylinders is less than 15% it will run for a while. If not, rebuild time.

Methinks he didn't read what TALON stands for on this site. :rolleyes:

:p :p :p :p :p

Me thinks you might have stumbled into the wrong forum.
TALON stands for Texas Area Lightning Owners North and has no affiliation with the Talon car. Having said that, we'll try our best to help, but no guarantees.

:cool:
