Well I know the motors not bad less than two thousand miles on it and would a blow off valve not hooked up right cause a big vac leak and the gas could be to and the guy i got it from mixed way to much oil with the gas as well.

A BOV could cause a vac leak, but I don't know if it'd cause the car to run sluggish and backfire.
Was the motor broken in done properly? |
