stuck on the side of the road.
So here I am stuck with a 89 GT that seems only what's to run on two cylinders. I thought it might be a limp mode...but it's only running on 2 cylinders...Any suggestions?

Yikes. Aside from having towed home I have no idea. LH failure maybe?

Are you sure it's only two? Could be the coil on one side, or it's supply wire to the distributor.

that's what I'm afraid of...since it's been running like a charm. I was running through the gears and in third, it decided to give up half dozen cylinders

Exactly. How do you know? Does the 89 have the exhaust temperature sensors?

I think it's only 2 because it's running so ruff it doesn't have enough power to move itself forwards

Did you check your coil to distributor wires and the connections?
