so i got an 88 xr7 and i just bought a 93 xr7 3.8l for a hundred bucks.with 80,000miles.. the 93 had a blown head gasket,, i fixed that and put in a new water pump, thermostat, plugs, wires and flushed all fluids and oil... when i run the car it starts fine but still has a skip when idleing...:mad: ...im thinking bad injector,, what do u guys think? the car is mint with leather and power everything im prob.. going to sell it when im done fixin it for my bb swap in the 88..:burnout:
