Sure timing didn't jump? Does the car feel really really weak?

no it didnt, i double checked, yeah really weak, and when i put 5th gear the car sounds like the engine is being forced, like when u put 3rd gear going at 10mph

Maybe your distributor hold down bolt got loose somehow and it moved. Check to see if your distributor can move freely.

no bro, i just went outside to check it and is fine

thanks guys for the help

any other suggestion?

do a compression test. my car did the same thing and i blow the head gasket between 4 and 5 cylinder. i also had my crank pully bolt come loose and i thought it was rod knock cause it ran really bad and made alot of noise.

I had that problem check your plugs mine exploded I barely got home and they were a week old and check the throttle body there might be a slight to insignificant leak that electricity might follow

are you sure your VALVE timing is correct? Might have jumped a tooth. turn the crank to #1tdc compression and make sure the cam gear marks are strait up.

Ok, it's been over a month. Any updates? Did you find the problem? Did you do a compression test? Did you check to see if your cams are pointing straight up with crank at TDC? What all have you done?

This (without a doubt) is the most worthless post I have read on SM.

I came close to locking this thread based solely on that one post.... :nono:

The STUPID is strong with this thread and it's attracting more and better stupid.

Yup...and you can't fix stupid.

Good for a laugh though:)

Who had your dist. pulled and installed back several teeth off? Not a knock, not a BHG, thats a timing/spark issue either mech.,electrical, plugs,or TPS maybe.
