Hello everyone,

I am really new to the forum. I bought an 89 LS for 500 dollars a month ago. The previous owner fried the breaks, I believe the front left calliper collapsed and locked up. I changed both front calipers, rotors and pads. The breaks seems fine right now. According to him, he has't driven the car for a whole year. It was too dusty inside, I dont really know if he did really drive it or not. I did the regular maintenance.. sprak plugs, oil, filter, etc.

He also told me that he disabled the parking brake because, he had the rear brakes lock up on him twice. I didnt really try using it since a couple of nights ago.. For some reason it is working.

I did a trip for about 1500 miles. I got rear ended by a Ford f-150.. only cracked the rear bumper surprisingly. (one more thing to fix). By the time I got home, the oil light went off, so I added 2 quarts of oil. The engine is running rather good, so I thought it might have been the PCV valve, so I changed it. I was't getting good gas milage either. The Insturment panel doesnt have a gas light so, I really cant tell if it is really empty or not.When I fill at "e", there is always 3 gal. of fuel left in it.


This is all I have to say for today, it also seems like I need new O rings on the fuel injectors... they are leaking... do you think it leaks too much that I am not getting good gas milage.


Thanks everyone..
