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

One tooth? Cause enough vacuum change AT IDLE to throw the MAP sensor
that far off?


Nuh-uh. Several teeth, maybe. One tooth, not a chance.
