Sudden loss of power and stalling at low rpm 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be larry pope on  Mon Jul 1 14:08 CST 2002 [RELATED]

it could be many things but I've just changed my timing belt and I have noticed a substantial improvement in lower rev power ( i can now get out of my driveway without a running start) They are inexpensice ($15 in australia (US$8)) and it takes only a couple of hours. Cooling fan off(not water pump), two screws to remove the large plasctic radiator cowling, remove crankshaft pulley, by removing only the 'small' nuts, not the large centre one (unless your modle dosen't come off without the large nut being removed), careful with the order the pully parts and shims come off in unscrew timing belt plastic cover, check belt and if the tensioner has any pressure left in it.If the belt has over 20,000 or otherwise looks suspect change it, carefull note markings on the old belt, and/or make your own mark on it. New belt should have markings on it.
