It's been acting up lately, driving at all speeds. It's seems like it's starving off and on. Every now and again it stalls completely, I pull over, shut key off for 15 seconds and starts back up again and off I go. Last time this happened it was the fuel pump. This time I don't know where to start.
Car has alot of problems and I'm starting to get tired of fixing it myself. J Just need help diagnosing. Car has 238K bad oil leak front main seal, heater core leaks, losing my brakes, can't roll down windows because of exhuast smell
comes in when you let up on the gas pedal, starts to smoke after idling for 5 minutes. Any help would be great!



Help me keep the faith!

Fixing the front oil seal is much easer than the rear main.

Have you ever replaced the oil separator box and its lines? You could be building up crankcase pressure and blowing oil out.

The heater core is an easy replacement.

If you smell the exhaust, the rear vent flaps have probably fallen off. The vents are in the well behind the rear wheels, very difficult to get to. The flaps are supposed to close so outside air does not get in.

With the additional smoke after 5 minutes of idle, I suggest that it is from leaky valve guides. A lot of trouble to replace.

Car does need a little work.
