Not a timing belt problem, if the timing belt was off by one tooth it would
throw the map sensor way off and cause low vacuum, what does low vacuum tell the computer DS?? it tells the computer that you are under a load and to give it more fuel, what does more fuel do at idle DS? it makes it run really bad. his complaint is under a load and idles good Secondary ignition |
