We'll I just finished up my 6 bolt swap and I used a new timing belt (obviously). Everything is back together besides the upper timing belt cover so I can see if there are any problems.

I started her up, she seemed to struggle starting be she started and idle'd for a bit than I turned her off. When I turned it off, it shut off extremely fast. I looked at the timing belt and it looks as if it has 40k miles on my new belt. It has all those bumps that usually occur after a while on the smooth side.

Any Idea what it could be rubbing on or what other things might be causing this?
