ok. . . so i've had this 87 starion for a couple of months, and its been runnin good and strong (for a 20 yo car w/o a rebuild). I've been using for a daily driver with no problems except the exhaust leak i bought it with---a couple weeks ago i was making my way to the beach on the highway and it suddenly cut off-it started back up with a consistant clank comming from the block. . .it shifts fine -but does'nt go faster than 20-30mph- honestly, i have no idea what's wrong............

one of my friends told me it might be the exhaust manifold leak sending bad signals to the comp.

another guy told me that the timing might "magically" be off.

and a couple of guys are tellin me that its the headers-or pistons knocking the block....

if you know the answer. . .or have an idea please reply
