My car is having problems. quick overview...

1 year ago I purchased a 1993 900s - bad tranny...
I also did rotors, brakes, plugs, rotor, cap, P/S flud lines, clutch - new AMM.

I put all together and it worked. - tryed to sell other car (could now afford insurance on 2 cars.

2 weeks ago - got it licensed and filled the car with gas (16 gallons). Shortly after that it started to do the chug a lug. I suspected bad gas. Used some fuel injector cleaner, some stuff to get water out of gas. This did not help it. It still was doing the chug a lug and somtimes would not idle at all.

Yesterday it died on me and would not start. - I will spare the details but let me just say that it took me 2 hrs to get it 2 miles. I decided to change fuel filter and charge battery (I drained it trying to start). After this I was trying to figure out what the deal was with the idle. It then proceeded to overheat. (bad relay) I fixed that and rebled the antifreeze lines but now it seems to be having valve noise.

It sounds like the absent minded professors car when the police officer says "sounds like in needs a valve job". It makes tons of racket. useing a stethiscope it sounds like it is comming from piston 3 or 4 (front of engine). I am confused as to what to do.

I pulled engine codes and get - bad / no Amm signal, bad / no AIC singal / too rich / too lean / too low voltage (from my little problem earlyier that day).

so time to throw in a lake or save? - Just kidding but I am getting frusterated.

Please give me some input. I NEED HELP!!

Thanks
Adam Dawson
