3.1 firebird

so what could be causing it, I just readjusted the valves, but I havent started i up yet, so I;m not sure whether or not it fixed or not.

haha, the other Night after My steering Fiasco, I had Disconnected a Plug wire to get the thing all bolted back together.

I went out for a test drive and Couldnt Figure out why it was running sooo Poorly.

I say to my friend " Man, it sounds like its Missing, but I didnt even touch the Engine, WTF? It must just be cold... "

3.1 firebird

I finally got the top half of the motor back together and took a ride. The problem seems to be getting worse.

I noticed the exhaust sounded sort of odd, so I took a piece of wood and banged on the converter when I was home from the ride. It sounds like particles are falling inside there, I cant be for sure , but I faintly hear a crumlinb noise inside the converter I think. Could it be the cat causing these problems?

I;m sure I set all the valves corretcly, last time I had one ticking on me, this time its nice and quiet.

Engine boy, I dont think I have any vacuum leaks, I put my hand over the throttle body blocking all ait, and I couldnt hear a hiss, when I covered it completely it died.

Bort, dont feel to bad, one guy on here pulled his heads off, then dicovered his car was running badly because he had two spark plug wires criss-crossed!
