2G Low power at low rpm

[Noahrieke]

I recently replace my front main seal and obviously had to take the timing belt off and all that good stuff but when I put it all back together the car seemed off at complete stop the car would idle up to 1300 and then shoot down to 800 and then back to what I have it set has which is 1100. And In first from a complete stop as I’m letting the clutch out at about 2500rpm it would just shoot down to 900 and start bogging the car till the rpm got back up. Did I not time it correctly or something? Thanks for any responses- Noah Rieke

The car should run exactly as before. Double check the marks.

Depending on which engine you have, it could possibly be crank position sensor related as well.

I don’t think I have a crank position sensor. If I did have one the trigger plate goes through it correct?

So would being like one tooth off do this?

Yes. Car does not run right with teeth off. Check the marks. At the very very least get number 1 to tdc with a screwdriver and check cam timing. Not as good as using the crank mark but you should be able to tell

Alright I’ll try do that once all this damn snow melts Montana life for you. Thanks for your help!

Update post! My timing was 1 tooth off after re-timed it, it ran great like it used too!
