Re: Does the 1 liter 3 Cylinder need backpressure to run?

He did have it towed to a shop right when it quit working and they said the headgasket was blown and it was gonna cost $2000 to fix it. He told them to kiss his ass and had the car towed back home. He checked the oil and the coolant and even checked for bubbles while cranking the engine. His headgasket is just fine. But he's gonna see if the exhaust will fix the problem. I have a feeling it won't. Then he can start checking the spark. He's got new plug wires and new plugs. Cap and rotor and original though. I checked those when I replaced his plug wires and they were still in pretty good condition. If all else fails, he has another Geo Metro sitting in the backyard he can pull the engine out of.
