alright...so i am COMPLETELY freaking out. i have an 00 b16 in an 00 hatch running the usdm ecu. so here it is...

A. car feel like it doesn't want to go...very sluggish.
B. at around 2500-3000 what i assume are them cams get really loud...a high pitched spinning noise.
C. at idle, which is a tad high, it sounds kinda like a diesel engine...a chugging kind of sound.
D. the idle itself is a little weird...just in general.

i checked the oil, full and color and smell our good. where do i begin? i was running rich for a while with basically no o2 and now i am running without my secondary...causing a code for ONLY that. any help would be greatly appreciated. i will answer any more questions...but hopefully i covered everything.

***mods...sorry for the double post...just trying to get to a different crowd.

sounds like cam timing is off. pull off the valve cover and check to see if the cams are in phase with the crank

this sounds pretty bad. try posting this in the tech forum, you'll get good clear answers there.

can this just happen for no good reason? i am semi clueless under the hood of this one so how do i check for the correct cam alignment? i have a POS haynes...will this help?

my timing belt slipped a tooth. i think the guy who sold me the motor adjusted the tension incorrectly.

this article shows how to set ur engine to TDC

i haven't touched anything...but this can still happen? whats the easiest way to check it out? pull the valve cover?

Hmm, sounds like IACV is bad, and maybe TPS isn't on the right setting or MAP is not getting the right vacuum.

Make sure cams and crank is exactly at TDC, tension is good.

And what is all the codes you are getting?

Keep us posted.

is there any good walkthroughs or write ups about working on timing? i just want to see more pictures or something before i dive in this...sounds easy but looks hard from what i have seen.
