Hello everyone,I just recently bought a 87 GN off EBay..The previous owner couldn't figure out why the car ran bad and the check engine light was on..I got the car home this weekend and cleaned it out and washed it..I trailered the car home from out of state and drove it for the first time yesterday.It drove around the block but it wouldn't let you accelerate nor speed up..Ive had two other GN growing up and it feels like a mass air problem..I looked under the hood and it has a lt1 style mass air.The other owner said they tried all kinds of stuff to fix the problem(scares me,lol) and could not figure it out.The check engine light is on and the car stalls sometimes when idling and when you put it in drive, but restarts..It smells like it is running extremely rich..The chip he said is a turbotweak for the injectors that are in it(36lbs) and was for the unit.My question is where do I start!!!Buying another persons problem is scary, I know....But I got the car at a decent price and she deserves to run again..Any comment wont go unnoticed,I work a lot so weekends are my only time to tinker with it..Please help guys!
