Hi,
Just bought a beautiful 04 GT with 68k in Brilliant Blue. I bought it not running. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out. I bought it at a very low price thinking it was quite likely that the previous owner had just flooded it since he was selling it cheap due to it not starting. I've done coils, wires, plugs and cleaned the MAF and ESS. The car is starting to improve, it starts fine from cold now and will start from hot with some cranking. It sometimes dies when I put it into neutral at speed. It's showing a P0301 CEL, or front piston (rotor) misfire. I'm starting to think it does have compression issues but I'm really not sure. I will be taking it in to the shop for a compression test soon. I'm really hoping it does not have compression issues and can be fixed, but I don't think it's likely at this point. If it does need a rebuild, and I decide not to get it rebuilt, what would the car be worth with the problems? I understand it's a general question and I've searched the forums extensively, but any insight would be appreciated. I've been lurking here for a while and there is a wealth of good information that I've already used to fix a few things on my 8. Really appreciate any insight you can give me, thanks!
