Thread: Multiple Issues... maybe

was it running ok before all that work? and why in the world would you pull the heads off? they hardly every blow a gasket.

theres no rocker lash, you tq em to 25lb's if you used reusable bolts, 11 and like 90 degrees iirc for new stock bolts that are tty.

flashing light, thats either it needs a tune up really bad, plug wires are on wrong, or, the cat is clogged up. hi miles na engines clog the cat all the time.

get your codes scanned at a parts store, its free at most places.

I pulled them because a mechanic told me that the gaskets were blown.

It was surging before all the work, but all the other issues appeared recently.

And my engine is almost at 200k miles

ok, lets get it scanned, post your codes, cause the codes always lead to the answer.

flashing cel tho, could be the cat, they tend to feel weak, lack of power, and sounds like a vacuum with a full bag when you floor it.

you can take the up stream o2 out run it with the hole open, see if its got more power. this lets the exhaust out pre cat.

or drive it some what hard at night and look under the car and see if its glowing red.
