I have been fighting with power, or lack there of, for weeks now. I finally broke down and brought it in.
They called me today and said that the timing was off 40 degrees. The car started and idled ok, but when I accelerated, it would really bog out. I changed the following:
fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, cap, rotor, wires, ignition coil, coolant temp sensor, and stepper motor.
They gave me a quote of 700ish for a newly installed timing chain. Is this a task that an average mechanic can do? Does the 40 degree timing difference cause the symptoms as mentioned? Would it even run if that off?
Any help would be great...as I am always a little leery of mechanic shops.
Thanks,
Jason
