[QUOTE="Rizkit32, post: 1145266, member: 17774"] Hey guys, I just bought a 1999 cobra about a week ago for 4000, which is a pretty decent price. It has 163k on the chassis and the motor was rebuilt and has about 60k on it. It's completely stock. Of course with a car that cheap its gonna have some problems. 1. ABS light is on and I'm not really sure how to get rid of it. 2. Sometimes the odometer just dies out while driving and reappear when it feels like. Sometimes it won't even come back at all. 3. When I start it up it shoots out some gray smoke out of the exhausts 4. This didn't start up until this afternoon, but when I'm idling, I lose all oil pressure but it goes back up when i give it a little gas. 5. The idle is almost never steady ****ALSO i forgot to add, when I tried to punch it, the cars seems like it stops pushing around 4500 rpm + and makes this higher pitched engine rev. IT's hard to describe, but it doesn't sound good. And when I'm driving and get to a stop, the idle lie to stick up really high like 1500 rpm, and slowly dies down. What I have done to it so far is clean the air filter and change every single fuse, they were all burnt out That's all i could think of right now any help I can get will be greatly appreciated :grin: Here's some pictures of the problem child.
