The junkyard 2.0 w/new headgasket, TT Euro intake cam and a new distributor and
O2 sensor can rev (slowly) to 5k+, idles like factory new and I can barely back
out of my slightly uphill driveway. What power it has comes on after 3k and
under any load it justs pops and does nothing. Changed out anything I could
think of, coolant temp sensor, plugs, wires, injectors, ignition module, kock
module. No vacuum leaks. The only things I don't have 2 of are DPR, knock
sensor and the O sensor module. I did every test except the DPR since O don't
have that harness and am reluctant to hack the one on the car. Dropped the
timing belt back a tooth, then forward once now I back to 0.Also the tachometer
seems to show higher revs than what the engine sounds like. @ 3k the 1.8 made
some noise the 2.0 is almost idle quiet (like around 1.7krpm).Any
suggestions?Thanks,Steve
