Default B16a has no power

Hey I bought a 1995 del sol two months back. When I first got the car it never seemed to have this problem I have now. The problem with the car is that the engine does not seem to be putting out the power it should. For example when I am driving and accelerating the car does just not seem to want to go. It's like the car is revving up, but will just not go. This also seems to happen after the car has warmed up. Also this is not the original motor the body has 220,000km on it with a swap b16a second gen obd-1.

I have replaced my ignition wires, distributor, spark plugs. The car idles at about 700. I am wondering what else I could do to fix this problem?

it's a 1.6 liter motor that's your problem

in all seriousness, are there any check engine lights? is your timing set correctly?

Well actually I forgot to say. My timing belt snapped a month back. I had the car taken to a shop and they replaced the timing belt along with all the other belts. There are also no engine check lights on.

Then have the mechanical/ignition timing checked.
