Finally got car running after timing belt change, Now no power and exhuast sounds alot differnt
 

Hey, I finally was able to get my car to start damn timing belt was a off a tooth. Now it runs fine sorta. I don't have any power like I used. Which I think could be ignition timing, and for some reason my exhuast sound really differnt, any ideas on that one? And one more thing. Idleing is messed up, It idles fine, then sometimes if you press on the gas and let it go it idles at 1.5-2k press on the gas again idles arond 1200, then back to normal. very werid.

Start by making sure the timing is set to specification.

well if it didnt run before i guess that it was 2-3 teeth off... my belt was at least 1 tooth off but it would still run just horible reaction when i punched the gas....

changed the belt over another tooth as well as timed it and still runs great to this day ;)

Yea, When I floor it, It pushes me back in the seat a little bit but not like before and it seems sloppy. You guys think its the timing belt or ignition? Also I fixed the idle was a leaking vacum line. Still stumped over the exhuast sounding ALOT differnt.

Have checked the engine timing as described in the picture?

You need to describe the abnormal exhaust sound.

I took it up to the shop, they said its the timing belt its a tooth off. there gonna fix that. Now the exhuast was semi deep for a honda. I have 2 resonaters and a option racing muffler. Now the exhuast is alot more higher picthed almost like its overreved, but its not. thats the best i can explain it.

Ok I think I may have figured out why my exhuast is sounding like ****. My car was backfiring, mabye that destoryed the inside of my muffler? I'm gonna go take alook later.
