Many probs that need answers [problems after timing belt change]

[SleepingTsi94]

Well I recently changed my waterpump and timing belt. To do this I pulled the whole motor and also took out the balance shafts while I was at it. I have a hard time starting the car up if its cold take a while. Also my abs light is on. I didnt mess with any of it. I just unbolted it and move out of the way when We took the engine out. What could be causing this? Also I feel some hesitation when giving it some gas during driving. I do have a check engine light and that was there before i replaced everything due to egr. Any things I should be looking for or what not to be causing the car to run like crap. It feels like when it idles that it will almost die and is missing? Some help ###

Have you double and triple checked your timing?

checked it when got done putting the belt on. then checked it with the covers one and then right before it went in

Pull the code and see what it is. That will be a huge clue as to what's wrong (hopefully).

K well I got my check engine light fixed. The car runs smooth. But not the abs light is always on since I pulled the motor and put it back in. The brakes dont lock up or anythings just always on. What could cause this? Also when driving my car Ill get into the higher rpms and I feel some hesitation like it doesnt want to go. Around like 5000rpm. But it does not do it all the time any clues? Thanks

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the plug wires weren't making good contact with the spark plugs, you could look into this.

It doesn't sound like it from what you describe, fuel cut is pretty intense and shuts off fuel quicly to make a hard jerk. From the times I experienced it, it was almost violent, or maybe I was just freaking out because I hoped my car was still ok.

so what u think about my abs light?

That I am not sure of but check to make sure you are full on fluid and double check the wiring under the hood.
