i believe that something is making it go into "safe mode" or whatever they call it....if the timing was off....say the dumb fool who replaced the timing belt was off a tooth....could this cause the ecu to run in safe mode??? and thus make the car run bad? the car is too nice to just dump the thing i really would like to get it running good because i know they are great cars and with only ~130k this thing has lots of life left.....thanks ahead of time for any input....
