okay so im looking for some big time help for anybody!!!
i bought a 1990 auto sc. i did a engine swap out of a manual sc, everything was connected right except for the top of the egr cap, a small tube that looks like a hose should be connected to it?? so i am now recently aware that 1990 sc auto did not come with an egr and manual sc did..?? when i first swapped and started the car it idled good but then it would warm up and it sounded like a grinding noise coming out of the supercharger and as it stayed on running the car would struggle a little to stay running when i gave it gas it reved up nice and when it came back to normal it sounds like a cammed car but struggles to stay running.. so i swapped out the supercharger to the original supercharger that came with the car and i deleted the egr in hopes to that maybe it was also the problem. i put everything back together and the car starts up but it will not stay on. it sounds like it is cammed and dies within 10 seconds. its worse than when the egr was connected,
the engine is good. i replaced all the gaskets around the engine, everything internal of the engine is good. the car did run when the egr assembly was connected to the car but it still struggled a little to stay on but way less than it does without the egr connected.
my question is it a egr problem that is causing the car to act this way or something else? there are not any good mechanics or shops where i live that know about tbirds so any advice will help, thanks!!!
