Default how to fix timing problem?

I put the car in first and hit the gas and the car slugs. It feels bogged down till the rpms rise up then it takes off. Then when I shift to second it does the same thing. sluggish then back to normal. I think its timing problem.
Could you guys tell me how to fix timing problem. How do I adjust it.

What is it thats out of timing? crank cams? You need to give a bit more detail to your problem before you can get a correct answer.

more details? new motor, rebuilt motor, swapped motor, new car? Sounds like retarded timing or lean A/F ratio. Either way, more details please. What car/motor?

You IMed me earlier. Still trial user. No permission to IM back. Sorry. Anyway. What happened to me is I put the new distibutor on and the three holes for the screws, on the distributor not the head, were alligned wrong. The hoyes manual said to use a timing gun to check the timing and loosen the screws on the distributor and adjust it by turning it clockwise or couter-clockwise. I didnt have a t.gun at the time so I just looked a at the old distibutor and saw where the screws had been aligned, then matched the position on the new dist. It took care of the problem. Im getting a timing gun tomorrow so I can do it properly. I suggest you do the same to fix it right. If you check your timing and get it right and the problem still happens it might be a vacuum leak I was told. Hope it helped you.

Timing Gun = Friend

^^in your signature it says something about leaving ur license at home. Thats the gayest statement i've ever seen someone put in the signature. You can get pulled over without your license, they just run your name and you have 10 days to prove you are who you are.

are you a mommas boy or something.......(oh no!!!! I left my license at home!!! I better be REEEEL careful then, huh??)) &lt;&lt;LOL

If he had a vacuum leak then the idle would probably be all messed up.
