Did your car ping a lot when your timming belt was off? My car pings like crazy, even if I use 92 octane gas + octane booster. I've checked everything except for the T belt. My car also has a little bit of hesitation between 900 and 1400 rpms. If I push on the gas hard just sitting with the car in neutral, the engine starts to wind, then starts to studder, then once it passes 1400 rpms it winds up without a problem. Think this could be the source?
Thanks, Jason P.S. Congrats on getting your timming fixed, and your car running so smooth now, I'm jelous On Sun, 17 Jun 2001 12:32:52 -0500, Mark W.
