Hope someone can help, I recently changed the timing belt on this contour, before the replacement the car ran fine, after the replacement the idle is very high and if you accelerate it takes a few seconds for the idle to return to normal. Also if the car is driven for extended periods of time it acts like it wants to die. The car also idles rough when the air breather is off. does anyone have a clue what might be going on? Could the timing being off cause it to act like this? any help would be appreciated.

by the way no CEL's

Welcome to AF!

Sure sounds like the timing is advanced too much. I'm afraid you're going to have to take it apart again and check the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft pullies.

Thank you for the help, thats what I was afraid of. Well at least I'll be well versed in how to do it! Thanks again.

Well, I re-timed this car and that still didn't solve my problem. anybody else have an Idea of what I might try? Thanks

oh yeah, I also changed the PCV valve while I was at it. Is anything on this car easy to do!!!!!

Well I replaced the IAC and that seemed to solve the Problem. The baffles on the inside of the IAC were messed up and had a hole in them. Hope this helps someone else.
