timing?

[matt]

It sounds like a timing problem. Do you have adjustable cam gears?

[JD@af]

I'm inclined to agree with enzo and matt. Have you messed with your distributor lately? And does the power "come back" at higher rpms?

your timing is to high or you could have a leaking injector do you have codes (check engine) light

you have a sub 2 liter 4 cylinder.

it does not make torque.

you want low end torque, get a v8.
