#254497 okay so i just bought this car and wor its being rediculas. so first of the way i bought it not running the guy said it needed head gaskit and heater core. i just didn the heater core and the car starts when cold with a sputtering and after mins it will stall out when it warms up and the revs go down if i rapidly press the gas it will come back and then stall as soon as i let off.
okay thats one problem then when i start it up and it idles bad i tryed to move it it has no power and doesnt really speed up unless i throttle on throttle of throttle on and so on it will jerk and pick up speed this is a project car / gas saver so i dont make lots of work just dont wanna spend to much.
its also is missing the cat and muffler so it goes down pipe 6 inch gap straigh pipe till the muffler bolt on and then no muffler could this be the problem?
lastly the big shocker i got the car for 200 bucks and i have new rocker that were never installed on an other car and they fit this so the body is taken car of.an y insight in to aany of this would be amazing .

i have had a 95 civic hatch and an 94 acura integra so i am famillar with the workings of the car but not a pro by any means. and i have better knowlege on cars then some people so i can handle most of the problems i for see.
