i have checked, replaced or cleaned
IAC valve
throttle body and gasket
PCV valve and hose
all vacuum hoses
TPS sensor
spark plugs and wires
ignition coil
fuel filter and pump
sprayed ether around the intake manifold gaskets (but not SURE if its good because the idle always lopes and i cant tell)
sea foamed the fuel injectors
cleaned MAF sensor
changed air filter
and my 99 escort has a rough idle, the engine lopes, shitty acceleration, has a light ticking noise and randomly gives me a check engine code P1131. i know all about the dropping valve seat thing and thats why i want to just get a rebuilt head with new valve seats but if it could be something else i would like to try that.
before i just buy a rebuilt head is there ANYTHING else it could be before i spend the 280$ like timing, valve seals any sensors etc i just want to know everything that could be making this car run like crap
