Timing Issue????
#11
Gettin Dirty
Im currently doing it right now, got p/s and alt belts off, was at the point of taking off crank pulley but going to check all my timing marks first, if it has not skipped a tooth and all my marks line up what else could my problem be. The car idles really low, and sputters when i take off, once i hit 3k rpm the car takes off like its poppin vtec.
The main reason this is a problem is because of the way my car sounds when accelerating i got pulled over the other day and was written a ticket for modified exhaust. I tried to explain the car was running bad and it wasnt a cut cat that heard but the sound of my car stalling, he didnt agree and wrote me a ticket. So im hoping once i get this issue solved i can go get my ticket signed off.
Please anyone feel free to chime in. Can i adjust timing at distributor so it will run right, at least to get my ticket signed off? Or do i have to do it at the timing belt?

I replaced the timing belt, all of the marks line up, everything looks perfect, but with everything set at tdc the car will not run, i had to advance the timing on the dizzy as far as it would go, and still it bogs sometimes when taking off from a dead stop, and sitting at a dead stop for too long the car dies unless i sit there and keep the revs up.
I really dont know what the problem could be but i need to get this fixed.
