I have a problem with my engine not reving or accelerating right, its on a 89' nissan hb. with the Z 2.4. It all started when me and my buddie swapped the the timing chain on it. Whenever its standing i will rev it up and when it hits around 3-4000 rpm it will kind of choke it will also loose some power whenever i accelerate up hills but whenever it ease on the accelerator it will take off. I already changed the following thinking it was it.
Spark plugs
wireset
cap and rotor
fuel filter
air filter
damaged vaccum lines
pcv valve

Now, i found the exhaust to have a crack where it hooks up to the exhaust manifold.
i really doubt that will cause to run shitty. Sorry but its kinda hard to explain in detail exactly what its doing. Any help?

Sounds like maybe a stopped up cat if you still have one.

sounds like to me you missed the timing by a tooth, either on the belt or on the distributor. did you time it with a light or by ear?

we timed it with a light and we got it exact. could it be my idle air control valve because it also idles kind of shity.

just out of curiosity did you time it perfect to zero?
because most vehicles run advance in them plus if i remember right i think there are distinct markings on the cam and crank gears that you have to line up some how(depends on aplication). did you line them up?
if you want me to i might be able to email you the specs on how to set your timing and align the gears and all that blah.
lol hope this helps.
