I picked up this 82 ZXT, well it is a true turbo car, however, the block and head are not a ZXT motor. P79 head and not sure of the block.
Anyway, it runs pretty decent but not great. So for kicks today, because I just picked the car up this past Wednesday, I decided to check the plugs and do a compression test. All were fine except #3. The gauge didn't budge!
I took the gauge off and put my finger over the hole and I could barely feel a thing. I pulled the plug wire completely off the car and unplugged the injector. It runs EXACTLY the same as before, maybe a little better.
Because the motor is not a true ZXT I don't care about it. If it goes, it goes. Anything wrong w/ this? Any additional harm that can be caused?
I do get some knock once on full boost but otherwise okay.
I am enjoying the crap out of driving the automatic. T-Tops are the bomb too. My wife even enjoyed going for a ride in it. She calls it my Roach car!
