Ya know, it's funny you should mention #1 conrod. I was always under the impression they were the 1st to go too. I don't know why #3 would go... although I wasn't exactly present in the engine compartment when my buddy was pulling plug wires, maybe that was just the 3rd one he pulled? I suppose I could do this myself!
You can hear the knocking from outside the car when the car is cold, but when the car is warm, the only place you can hear the knocking is inside... that was why I thought it was a rod or somethin...
Also, any ideas on why it'd be idling really rough when cold? Like I said, it's not missing, just idling rough. I've also got gawd-awful low end power. The car is deathly slow off the line. I floor it and it just kinda sits there, not stuttering, just taking a REAL long time to do it's thing. The boost kicks in at around 2300 rpm, so it seems, and from there until 4000 rpm the power is like it should be. But once the engine hits 4300 rpm the power just sinks. I've been in a few 740's with a B230FT (1988-1991), and it doesn't sound anything like mine, and it's a whole lot more snappy off the line, one totally stock lights up the right rear tire off the line!! Mine doesn't light up the hides until 3000 rpm in 1st... and by then I'm already moving...
Thanks again!
