so my balance shaft belt broke on me a couple days ago and luckily for me it didnt take my timing belt with it, it just slipped a tooth or two and took a small abrasion out of it. i just didnt put a new bs belt in but the shaft is still sitting in there, partly because ive been meaning to remove them in general and partly because i needed my car done now, but here's the problem, now that its all put back together it ran great right after i got it all back together just a little engine vibration which i expected but after it warmed up it started dropping down to almost 400 rpm when i pushed the clutch in and it would catch it self and jump back up, so i adjusted the cam angle sensor so it would advance timing a little more which didnt really help, now when i went to start it today it stuttered horribly and has a major loss of power but no CEL, and i tried adjusting the cam angle sensor and the tps but neither helped. im lost and need to get it running right again. any help is much needed. also could it be my map sensor thats going because i have a new maf that i just put in off a southern parts car taht looked brand new, along with a new o2 sensor. my injectors tick and i know they need to be cleaned out but this cant be the only problem can it, because my car has cut out when at a steady throttle around 2000 rpm for a long time now it just does it horribly worse
