Cold and Gutless 245DL 200

Hello all,

I replaced the timing belt on me brick a while back but have been having troubles. Mind you, I never drove the car with the old belt, so I don't know how it used to drive. I have pulled the timing cover and verified that all is still lined up and the tensioner is taking up all the slack.

The car has fresh plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The coil and ballist test out fine. I have tested the vac. lines with propane to check for leaks, but I have found none.

The car will start fine. Idles ok, but once you try to rev the engine it stumbles bad. When driving, you have to feather the gass or kind of find the 'sweet spot' in the pedal to get here to go. Once the car warms up to normal temp the problem almost goes away. When warm, it just does it at barelly off idle.

It will also no start if you stop at the store and then try to restart in, say, 10-15 minutes. Just turnes over but no start. But, this is intermitant. Only seems to happen when my wife is driving the car alone.

Anyhow, any help would be great!
Thank you,
Tim
