Beja,

I just did timing belt change, with water pump, belts pulleys, etc, but now the car sometimes dies.
Let's say I accelerate to 4k rpm in third gear and press de breaks and clutch. The car dies if I brake to hard or take the foot of the gas super fast.
It had happen once or twice before the timing belt change but now happens every time I drive it instead of every month or so. It sat for 2 weeks outside, can that have any impact on it?
I'm thinking that may be timing belt being off by 1 tooth or something like that. idle it's weird, it doesn't go up to 1.5k and slowly come to 750+/- when it starts it kinda wobbles, i have to give it gas for a while to keep it at 1.5k/1k then slowly decompress the gas after a bit and it stays normal and it's stays like that without go up and down and if it does it's barely. (previously the idle was not as bad but it was pretty similar if I didn't touched it for a few days )
My issue is the dying of the car, since when it dies the steering becomes pretty heavy and my biggest problem is this happening in a roundabout or in a intersection.
I'm taking it to a mechanic the next Monday but the problem is that's a 45min drive and I dunno if I wanna push it that much ...
