Greetings all...
I recently purchased a used 89' Crown Vic. I scraped the last of what I had to purchase it. I believe its been sitting awhile. I was hoping to get a full tune up on it and gradually purchase the necessary repairs. Ok, I end up having a brake line problem only to find out I have a small leak in my gas tank
too. The brake line is fine now, but I dont have the money yet to fix the gas tank leak. I have not had a tune up yet either. Every place I've taken the car to says I'm not in that bad of shape as far as tune up was concerned, but I wanted to ask you guys in the know a few questions....
- Is it safe in any way to drive my car untill i can get this leak fixed?
- When slightly pressing accelerator, the car seems to choke like its going to cut off. Any ideas as to why and is that a BIG problem?
- Whenever I put this car on the freeway it seems to be working extra hard to reach speeds like 50mph +. Almost like straining. Whats the deal?
- My gear selector does not line up with the corresponding gear letter accurately, where can I get this type of thing repaired?
I appreciate any help....as soon as I get some extra dough, I'll be running to pick up that Chiltons' Crown Victoria manual...take care gang.
