Have you looked at the spark plugs to see if they need to be changed? Also, with the cam pulley that wobbles, check to make sure the timing marks on both cam pulleys and the crank pulley are aligned with the timing belt. If these marks are off, it can cause BIG problems along with not starting. If the marks are not aligned, align them and then tighten down the pulley and give it a shot.

- If the mechanic looked at it and said your timing was off, why wouldnt you just have them do it??
- If they are aligned, tighten the pulley and give it a shot.
- I had the same problem and smelled gas after hard acceleration.
- It’s some strong stuff bro but even Mama and Brooke can tell when I put it in there cars.
- Try putting 2 or 3 bottles of “Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner” in there.

No crank, no start, no power
If the mechanic looked at it and said your timing was off, why wouldnt you just have them do it?? If you dont really have experience working on cars, imo i would have someone else switch cam pulleys and put everything back to TDC. I had the same problem and smelled gas after hard acceleration. vaiyo Had poor fuel economy accompanying all this with an idle of about 1000rpm sometimes 1100 after warm up. Try putting 2 or 3 bottles of “Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner” in there. If always peps any of our cars up and the run it almost to empty, I guarantee you’ll notice a difference.

- If ur car is off timing, in general, ur check engine light be on and it would idle rough.

- My suggestion is to eliminate the exhaust being plugged, disconnect the exhaust manifold at the point that it bolts to the down pipe.
- Then take it on a test drive and see if it makes a difference.
- I would check the timing before i would check the plugs just because its a little easier.

Either lossen it up enough where u can see a good size gap or completly unmount it but make sure that down pipe is not going to be swinging around.
