So about a year ago I blew the crank seal and decided the do the cam seals, crank seal, oil pump, and balance shaft seals as well. I pulled the engine apart and replaced everything that needed to be done, which was a headache all by itself. I had never done timing before but I realized I'd never learn how unless I just went ahead and gave it a shot.
Once everything was lined up and I had spun it by hand a bunch of times, I started it up and it would idle at about 300 RPMs. If I revved it up a bit it would settle at somewhere between 8-900, which seemed fine to me. Now it sounds like its missing and will still sit at about 300 until I give it a little gas. I know every car won't run the same if the timing is a little off but I was told it wouldn't run at all if its even a tooth off, and I was pretty freaking confident that I wasn't.
Ps. The car sat for about a year before it got put back together. I took a video that my phone isn't letting me upload yet but as soon as I can ill post it. Any insight would be much appreciated
