Default New guy from california

Just starting fixing up my mustang, if had it since 2001 and just now started working on it. My baby is a 1987 gt mustang =] My gf blew the transmission a few years back and i almost just gave up on it and was thinking of selling it, untill a friend of mine gave me a rebuilt trans with a b&m shift kit. For the 2 years it was down i would start it atleast 3 times a month and limped it around the block just dreaming of driving it again, and to keep the batterie alive lol. So today i had set up a appt. to have it installed. Took my mustang to the shop today for a transmission swap. when i picked it up it was misfiring really bad, only when i was easy on the gas it would run good, or just at idle. I left it at the shop overnight and they said they would call me with the damage in the morning. Thing is that it was running fine before i took it in, i took it in for the transmission now im dealing with the engine.

Welcome! It might have been mis-firing all along since you only limped it around the block and never really got up to speed. Just might not have noticed it
