No Acceleration

[multicraft]

I just bought a 95 Honda Civic for $400, figured if it was drivable It was a good deal. First problem i have found is the car has poor acceleration. Idlles fine but won't go like it should. I noticed blue smoke coming from tail pipe when at full throttle with slight gass fumes inside while driving. The civic has a manual transmission. Besides the fuel filter and tune up stuff, plugs, wires, etc.... What other issues should I be looking at?

sounds like your cam timing could be out a tooth or so. i've ran into that problem before with my race car, it will still idle fine but it barely pulls itself.

Thanks for the information. I will check the timing this weekend.
