Disconnect the exhaust pipe up front or connnect a pressure gauge where the oxgen sensor is-anything over 3lbs calls for concern.

Before you disconnect an exhaust system you may need to check the timing. Those years were bad about belts/chains as it was the cross over year. If a belt and the little engine it,s timing belt time.
