BTW: B18B1 Stock, automatic, 125K miles

Ok so my car died the other night, and we had to pull it back home, had my dude check it out today and timing belt snapped, so we replaced that marks were good on top.. we replaced both P/S+A/C belts, Spark plus cables and spark plugs, valve cover gasket, air filter and oil change. Now the car is running boggy like its being choked @ low rshared_pm. cars idling around 600-800 , when i hit the gas it takes 4ever to get up to like 3K rshared_pm once it hits that its fine.... the first time we started up the car it revved smooth no problem (before the spark plugs and cables)

Then , since the spark plus were filled with oil he took the old ones out, let the oil seep in, put them back on , we turned on the car let some oil burn, then replaced the cables and plugs, and its been boggy since, also replaced the distributor cap/rotor. ...............................

any suggestions?

ALSO looking for a A/C condenser LMK if u have any!

 

reset the timing again

 

Do a compression check and post readings.

 

so the timing was re-done and its now running good, BUT>>>>>>>>>>>............... the RPM needle is out of whach.. its jittery when moving instead of moving normal it's like jumpy.... any ideas what it could be..

 

Sounds like your about to have dizzy problems

 

We replaced the distributor cap (had a small crack in corner) and the rotor as well?..

 

you need to replace the housing, where the sensor is located.

 

if the rpms are jumping in the cluster check the tach signal....

 

+1, the magnets on the sensors inside the housing are probably worn out, save yourself the headache and just replace the whole thing with a known working one

 

BTW: update .... the car ran fine the next day w/out doing anything ?!!... dont know why but its been fine since!.
