ok, I have a 97 Mercury Cougar with a 4.6 v8 in it, when you crank the engine the thing backfires through the throttle body. Which leads me to believe that the timeing chain has slipped and its jumped time. I called a local shop to see if they would fix it, the asked if it was Over head cam and I said yes they said they wouldnt fix it. Is this car worth the time and money of fixing it?
