Re: 1.0L 5spd 38 mpg w/o AC -- SO WEAK IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON HIGHWWAY

I THINK I FOUND IT!

ok, so I bought a timing light tonight and checked out the timing... It's bouncing between 11* and 6*... kind of all over the place at idle. If I accelerate... WHOA?! It goes waaaaaaaay of the scale... over to what I'd presume is 30* BTDC. This isn't right is it? When I accelerate the timing should be dead-on-balls @ whatever I set it to, right? Is this a timing belt? I hope so. I bought a new one tonight

Someone please tell me this is the root of all my problems

Scott.
