Ford Thunderbird Starting in the 1950s, this was a classic American sports cars, from the compact original of the 1950s, to the muscular hard top coupes of the 1980s and 1990s to the retro look of the 2003 model year, this car is, and always will be, an American classic.

Default 95 Bird LX

got a hell of a issue. when i got the car it had an exhaust leak, and at the time it was fine, after the ride home the car had a miss under acceleration. i had looked at some solutions and did some seafoam and premium gas on the way home from doing that today it ran like a new car no misses no pings. i went to pass someone and ran it to 4500 rpms and it started missing again and smelt like oil bad. i was also missing 2 quarts of oil. after driving for a while it returned to its orginal running state. does this sound like a head gasket or oil rings. i dont see any blue smoke out the back and there isnt any oil on the ground. oil pressure and temp are good oil pressure is middle and temp is 1/4. any help would be great thanks!

Would that be a EGR Valve gone bad? i pulled up codes for egr valve stuck open and closed and misfire on cylinder 3. i guess right now i know to replace it, but could the egr valve be leaking oil and that oil getting into the cylinders somehow? thanks again for any input!!
