alrite so i took my car to this import shop around the way by the name of Obsession motorsports... i took it there to have a head gasket replaced, and had it replaced with a turbo head gasket, and ARP head studs, but when i got my car back, it did not run at all like it did before i dropped it off, when i got in, the gas pedal was way sensitive, and when i stick it in first, even with my foot smashed on the gas, it just kinda putts along, almost to the point of stalling!! then in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear, say i try to pass someone, ill hit the gas and it will start going, then it will hesitate, then it will kick in, then it will hesitate, and so on, so i took it back to them, they said oh it could be the cam gears, didnt make sense but ok, so they adjusted some ****, i got my car back, and its alittle better but it still hesitates, can anyone give me any suggestions on what the problem could be? thanks guys

 

A little more info is needed. Like what RPMs does this happen.

And!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is not an appropriate title

 

i really couldnt tell you, it just kinda random when it happens, it seems to happen more when im trying to get some speed, as apposed to just driving and shifting gears at 3000rpm. but i havent noticed that its really at any certain rpm, it just kinda happens....

 

 

well i didnt know how else to word it for the title, all i could think of was that i need help.

i didn't know this.. mine didn't have directional arrows, i installed it so that the words were readable from drivers side, i assume it's correct, as i haven't had any problems..

what problems does it cause when it's on backwards? does it make the cam timing more prone to slip? (which i assume is what happened to the op)

 

wow you are quite the smart *** arent you?? well congratulations<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 98vtec &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">you cant put the timing belt on backwards......

and i wanted to ask you, are you mechanic? because my grandfather has been an auto mechanic for 40 years now and thats what he told me. and if you are, then you should just open up your own school, because you are definetly the most intelligent person i have ever talked to.

 

well its not necessarily on there backwards per-say, he just told me it was on wrong, but if you think about it, theres really no other way it could be on there wrong unless it is on backwards, because the teeth are only on one side of the belt.

 

wow. good luck with your "mechanic".
