sooo... i had a leaking cam seal, so i decided to replace it with a aluminum skunk2 one. everything went well, until i went to start up my car. it intitially sounded different. kinda like a mix between a go-kart motor and someone smoking a bong. lol Then when i test drove it around the block i noticed that its acceleration was almost cut in half. I have no idea what could have went wrong. im going to go cry now

 

Check your timing, i think its off.

 

how can i adjust it? it run's a little better now, but it still is having trouble accelerating, and it seems to be getting worse gas millage

 

do you have any CEL codes? Did you line up the timing marks?

 

you might be in limp mode for some reason! disconect the neg. battery terminal or reset the ecu just unplug it for a few sec.

 

i reset the ecu, and it seemed to be idling better (instead of bouncing up and down). Then i drove around the block, and at first it was running good, but then it started to feel weird again (slow acceleration, and a bouncing idle) so i went and checked the ecu and it was flashing a 16 , i believe (1 long light, and 6 short lights)
