Default b16 motor chuging, shakes, idles low and surges not much power

my b16a2 swaped into 93 cx, idles very very low, and surges at stop lights. Acceleration is not good and chuges/shakes a lot. even at highway speeds in 5th gear constant speed it chugs. Is my timing belt not torqued correctly, timing off ??? any ideas??

thanks

yeah that definitely sounds like a timing problem... i would say try adjusting your distributer a little and see if it helps...
