found a clean p10 as is...question though...
Running Rough as if on 3 cylinders and smell of gas fumes. The salesman said it was from water in #1 plug, but thats dried out now. I suspect CTS. Damn for this price...but i cant go throwing parts at it and they want to sell it as is. Whats a brother to do?

Carpal tunnel syndrome? How bad could it be? Beat 'em up on the price and go for it!

They don't want to budge on the 1200 price, but that body is straight and rust free even if it is a auto. Master cylinder is low on fluid and brake light is on. I want to add that to the selling point too. I swear I want to see if the plugs and wires are backward and change the CTS but this is not mine "Yet". I really want to cry cause this is my entry back in....

It could be a bad o2 sensor if it is an OBD1 model. What year is the G20?

Agreed. Find out what it is.

Also I had water in my cylinders from a cai when I had my b15 I removed the plugs, cranked it a bit, and it ran fine with perfect compression. The key was not restarting it after it ingested the water and I turned it off. If it was repeatedly started or run with water in the cylinders it has probably bent some valves.

Plus it's an auto! When I was looking for a new car I test drove an auto p10 and p11. Even for a beater it would drive me crazy. No clean chassis in your region?

Or have them check the compression so at least you have an idea.
