Timing is too retarded if I remeber right. Someone will have to verify that.

Did you replace the timing belt? or mess with ignition timing? Your title doesn't say. if its your belt then take the covers off and double check that the marks line up.

Wait.. WTF? You changed the timing belt without the tool to make sure the timing is correct and then started the car up and ran it at high rpms? Am I reading this correctly?

If you have no way of getting the timing right should never change the belt.

You dont need to touch the dizzy unless for some reason u removed it. If all you did was the timing belt u dont need any special tools to set cam timing. Just make sure u have both cam gears and crank set right. If sounds like your off a tooth somewhere.
