If I were to venture a guess, could it be possible that your timing belt's off 
a tooth or two?  That might explain the hesitation.

Subject: Adjusted timing to 14 on a 97

Hello, Just have a quick question for you.   I adjusted the timing on my 
97 NA  to 14 degrees.  We set it using a timing light and while keeping 
an eye on a scangauge in side the car to see what the ecu was saying it 
is.  timing light says we are at ~14 but the ecu is still reporting 10 
at idle.  does it always report it as 10 or is there some other issue 
that I should be worried about.

I will say this though, since I bumped the timing it runs much smoother 
and feels much quicker while accelerating.  no more hesitation from 
1k-4k rpm.


I am going to drop it back off to 12 degrees on thursday. My rings seems 
to be letting more oil past now...  just can't keep up with the extra 
pressure I guess.   Hoping to have money for rebuild over the 
winter/spring. on that note, any tips on where I should look for parts 
and pricing on all that?  head was recently replaced with a rebuilt 
unit. so I think just a head gasket and a lower end rebuild should be 
enough.


Thank!
