86 190e
86 190e barley starts or runs
out of the blue my batt was done for. i replaced it only to find out that the motor didn't want to start. after trying for a few mins, it stared...then died (repeat a few more times).
when it DID finally stay on, it idled very rough. when i gave it gas it died (again, repeat a few more times).
but once it began to register some heat on the temp guage i was able to rev it up some, the whole time it was revving up it was sputtering/missing/hesitating.
surprisingly my car made a 52mi round trip to work and back. yes i know thats a pretty dumb thing to do.
at highway speed i could feel/see the engine rpm fluctuate, not a lot, but enough to take notice of.
she got 172k on her
where do i go from here???
