Thanks for the info guys. Im relieved to hear its pretty normal,just first time Ive seen it happen.

 

thats new to me really, I can see it happening though.

 

Not everyone can tell when a vehicle isn't running correctly.. I had someone bring me a contour that was running on 3 cylinders for over 6 months and the customer didnt even know it..

 

Then how did they know its been doing it for 6 months??? Just a thought

 

he had the timing belt done at a shop, six months prior to me looking at it they had it timed incorrectly, because there are a few tools you need to do it right. it bent up an intake valve, then when they realized what they fucked up, they timed it right. they fucked it up just enough to have around 15 psi compression in the cylinder. He told me it ran a little sluggish since he had it fixed.. but nothing he didnt think some fuel injector cleaner couldnt fix. he drove it that way for six months till i put an engine in it.. He though the thing was souped up when i got done with it because it was actually running on all 4.
