Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
1. very uneconomical on fuel
2. lack of power going uphill
3. sluggish to catch speed ( as if advance mechanism not working; i seem to understand that its all electronically managed)
I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE THE LAMBDA SENSOR ( QUITE TOUGH TO UNDO)
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO CHANGE PISTON RINGS AS ENGINE OVERHEATED LAST SUMMER-ONLY CHANGED GASKET AS TEMPORARY REMEDY.
PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

Probably cost more to fix than car is worth . To be honest would be uneconomical to repair that car and year .
