Car losing power?
Just finished my C1 swap into my hatch last week. I drove it around, and appearently one of my spark plug wires came off on my dizzy. Well as you'd guess I blew the dizzy, which is now replaced.
But what urks me is, my car does not feel the same anymore, if anything it feels a bit slower. For a C1 it feels like its holding back so much..Could I have damaged anything else when my dizzy blew?

Ditto
did you use a timing light when you re-installed? or at the very least mark the position of the old dizzy?

The car itself doesnt feel like one of the cylinders isnt firing (no hesitation, sputtering, bogging, late response) It just doesnt feel like its pulling to its full extent.
When the swap was first done, the motor made my wheels hop off the ground, now its like it takes forever for a gear to finish
Probably the timing? How do i exactly fix it? I know i can rent a timing light from shucks, but how do i reset it?
