well the problem is back sorta. Before I had no power all the time, now its mainly just in 1st gear. It ran great the last few days, but now if i floor it in first, the engine sounds like its pumpin out power, but I just don't move very fast. But if I let off a little, and then repunch it, it'll go like its supposed to. Kinda wierd, its like something is making my car pull timing. I'm gunna just redo the whole timing belt here one of these days just to make sure last tim i did it i didn't put it a tooth off or sumthin. But if i put it a tooth off, then wouldn't it always be slow, not just off and on. It's like if i punch it when im at a low rpm, that's when it won't go so fast, but if im at like 4500 and i punch it, most the time it'll take off just fine. But I dunno, I'm gunna try to just redo the timing belt just cuz why not. Also, I read on this site how to use a timing light on our cars, and that you can adjust the timing with the CAS. So if my CAS is a lil off, could that be causing this and i just need to readjust it? Also that site wasn't perfectly clear where im looking if i use a timing light. It says to look through the top of the engine bay down to im guessing the crank pulley. and then from there you should see the timing mark meeting this lil meter thing at like 5 or sumthin. Well when i look through the top of my engine bay, and can't barely even see the crank pulley, or this lil meter measure thingy where its supposed to be at 5. anyone else done this that could enlighten me?..

ps, the name of the site i got the timing light info off is www.plymouthlaser.com
