So when I had to fix the timing belt on the side of the road we didn't get it exactly set right, as i'm pretty sure we are a tooth or so off on 1 if not both cams.

Reason being:

It's shooting flames backfiring on deceleration, lol!!! Also has no power under 3500, can barely maintain 70mph in 5th, and is extremely loud, lol.

I'll have to take a good look at it sometime this week or next weekend!

Might try to get a vid of the flames...LOL!

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Yeah, flames OUTSIDE of the engine is usually a bad thing. But I definitely want video! :popcorn
I had an old Nissan Stanza ( :gamerz ) that liked to fill the muffler with raw fuel, until one day KABOOM!!! :oshit Of course It did save me time when I got around to changing the muffler out. :lol


If it were me, I'd pull it off and start over. ^o) This is what you get for having a stranger grope your Metro. :P

Got 70 MPG?

You're lucky it's running at all with it being an interference motor...

I really hope for your sake that the spitting and farting is just timing and not bent valves.
