    Cobra thread

    Figured I'd start a thread where I can upload my progress and ask questions.
    Picked up a 1998 Cobra black with tan leather. It has at least 170k(the odometer doesn't work)
    All stock with a steeda tri ax shifter.

    It over heated a couple days ago due to a fan pin melting and the fan wouldn't come on.




    When it overheated it sprayed coolant everywhere, which melted a coolant crossover




    Checked the spark plugs and found the #7 plug to be loose. Went to tighten it and it wouldn't tighten. The threads in the cylinder were stripped. Did a helicoil kit on it. And two days later it started "missing" while it idles again, any idea what's up?

        If It's mainly leaking at idle look for vacuum leaks.

          You need to do compression tests. I am concerned about a possible warped head. If it really got hot, it could have collapsed the rings. Any codes?

                Only code I know about is the one for the egr delete.

                    That wouldn't cause it. Again, compression test and as mentioned above, vacuum.
