If U have O'riellys Auto parts in your area U can go there and give them your License or a credit card and "borrow" their scan tool, I did it while being in their parking lot. My Escort threw the VCT code when it was acting the same way as yours. I am in the process of changing timing belt and vct! Hopefully works, good lick

How do you check for a blown intake gasket?
Look for leaking antifreeze/coolant. Usually you can see it leaking around the top of the engine. Also check your oil, if it looks milky it has been mixed with coolant and you intake manifold gasket is leaking. That being said, it is possible to have a leaking intake gasket with no sign of leaking antifreeze. Most intake manifold issues/leaks are coupled with poor engine performance and even sputtering and lack of power.
