Default Bad idle, Tryed a million things

Hey guys/Gals....

One day i was driving home, and my outer CV Joint just snaps out of place, the bearings just separated. So i replaced the cv joint and attempted to start the motor. Wont turn over. The motor haven't enough compression to start..

The timing had jumped. Set back the timing and started up the car. Started. Now heres the sweet part.... I just don't get a steady idle. My fuel gauge also fluctuates with the erratic idle.


I tryed a working ICAV, Cleaned Tb/Intake Manifold. Cleaned Gas Tank, Blew out Fuel Lines, Changed Fuel Filter, New jvc plug Wires.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

double check the timing... electrical included, then perform a compression test and see if u bent something inside.

Could a blown head gasket cause this?
