Red face 1990 Mirage

Well Hello, I Own A 90' Mirage... 2 weeks ago i started to notice that ive been losing alot of power in the engine, also when i go that the engine has really no power at all, my older brother took a look at it and thought it might of been the rocker arm shaft(exh) that we replaced about a month ago came lose again(maybe broke again) i checked that the other day and it was fine! i was wondering if anyone has any info on this before i start to take the engine apart and look for the problem with my father.
Could it possibly be the plug wires? maybe the plugs, the Dist Cap?
(The Parts ive replaced in the car are as listed
Tranny From 89 Mirage :Shifts Well No Problems With it:
Rocker Arm Shaft :Exh:
Alternator
Spark Plugs :Year Ago:
Air Filter :2 months ago

Also i did notice that the exht manifold is cracked in half could this also be apart of the problem? Any help on this issue would help! Thanks

Re: 1990 Mirage

As you noted, the problem you are having is most likely ignition related. Make sure you used an OEM type plug such as NGK or Denso. Carefully inspect the cap, rotor, and wires. If you don't know how old they are, you may want to replace them on principle.
FWIW
YMMV

Re: 1990 Mirage

Thanks Alot... But A New Problem Has Started. The Car Has A Hard Time Turning Over The Starter Seems Fine But When Started It Makes A Winey Sound And Sounds Harsh, This Sometimes Causes The Car To Stall Out Or Not Even Start Itself

Re: 1990 Mirage

"and its horrible to start sometimes wont"

Can you elaborate on this and be a bit more descriptive? It may be something as simple as a bad starter.

Re: 1990 Mirage

The Starting Is Ruff I Checked The Starter Its Fine But It Makes A Winey Noise As Soon As It Starts... I Just Got My Pluggs Changed And Its Running Hard They Said It Might Be The Injectors But I Think Sears Fucked Up My Car LOL... if you need more of a decp on the starting just ask...

When I Go WIth My Car Now It Seems Like Eather The TIming If Off OR...The Injectors Arent Putting In Enough Fuel. It Runs Like Crap And It Seems Like Its Skipping And Pops WHen It Runs
