Timing problem on 99 Si?
I recently purchased a '99 Si that is completely stock. However, it is laggy on the bottom end from take off till about 3K - 4k. After that, it picks back up, and feels fine. But no matter how much gas I give it in the lower end, it doesn't accelerate any quicker. It just basically falls on its face. A couple of days ago, I did a basic tune up on it and replaced the cap and button along with other things. But I had to take the distributor off because of some difficulties. After I put it back on, the problem got worse. (I didn't mark where the distributor was, but I put it back in the "general" area that I remembered where it was. I know, I'm stupid for not marking it.) I am thinking that timing is my problem but I can't find anywhere on the internet where it states what the timing should be set at on a stock b16a2. Am I thinking right? If so, can someone tell me what the timing should be set at? If not, can someone help me out and tell me what my problem is?
