one day i got my timing belt and water pump replaced and since after that my car has been lagging power....for instance i step on the gas it wont take off like before it slowly accelarates then between 4 and 5,00 rpm i feel a pull outa nowhere! doea anyone have any ideas to what it causing this crisis!

 

check your timing, maybe skipped a tooth

 

Definitely check the timing...but it could be because it's a B16 that it's lacking in the bottom end


Just kidding...but seriously, check the timing.

 

alright thanks ill check that out. then write back.

had a feeling someone was going to say something like this...but yea, just recheck your timing...gl...

 

okay then i got a whole bunch of problems now instead of one....i used the t-gun and it appeared to be at the 0 degree mark...but the gun sucked so i couldn't set it but i dont know if that was the problem or if it was the cams because one side didnt line up with the side marking on to the plastic cover...i tried to line everyting up but i stripped the tension bolt! and the darn timing belt wouldnt tighting back up everytime i tighten the bolt. the many times i tried to tighten the bolt i stripped the bolt.so, should i just take it to honda? or is ther anything else..?im rideless..and it hurts...haha

 

and another thing i cant get the pulley off because i dont have the tools and i dont know how...so can some one please tell me what to get and how to take the pulley out.

 

i think i got the process i searched the problem and i think ima try the starter removal trick. then get a new tensioner and install that. i have a question though can the cam gear be off if the seals were replaced. if so i can take that off.this is all new to me and i want to learn more yes! i cant wait until i fix my own 93 honda civic coupey!

 

yeah get a new tensioner , and set tdc at crank pully and cam gears.thats way u wont miss a teeth. the link below is the full detail write up

enjoy

thanks that helps out alot!/ my distributor was turned all the way towards the windshield. i have msd ignition and the coil and msd cap too. act clutch and aem intake. whats the best distributor placement and timing for all this? the previous owner had the timing set on high is that the 18 degree mark? and is that high set bad for my engine?
