i have a 1990 toyota pickup and one morning i went outside to start it and thats when the fun began..it cranked up fine but had no power AT ALL..when i rev up the engine it takes forever to get up in rpms, HERE IS THE WEIRD PART if i retard the hell out of the timing it runs fine without a problem, i have done everything but bring it to the dealer/mechanic..


Things i have done:

1. replaced timing gears, guides, sprockets and tensioner

2. replaced distributor, wires and plugs

3. ignition coil

4. replaced tps

5. replaced fuel filter and pump

sounds like your timing chain may be a tooth off

I agree, appears the timing chain is off. Is the problem after you replaced the gears? Also I hope you weren't stomped but rather stumped. A stomping would hurt way too much. LOL

Double checked and triple checked...still same problem as i had before even after replacing all the sprockets and etc.

im going with timing off a tooth..man this sux..i took the valve cover off and aligned it at the bottom in a clockwise direction and found it was off a little bit but hopefully enough to cause problems..i remembered what i did wrong when i installed the new sprockets, i went passed top dead center and went counter clockwise to correct it putting slack on the wrong side causing to be off by a tooth..HOPEFULLY thats what it is..im still learning..lol

Solved==== off a tooth or two maybe three...

Lesson learned===when putting on timing chain always go clockwise when aligning notches never go counter clockwise



thanks a million for the replys yall were right about the problem..i lost some man hood
