Car falls on its face, stutter on accel
Hey all. Been reading this board for months for tips etc. I tried searching for this but nothing seems to help.
I just did a headgasket on my 96 Galant and now whenever I go past say 1/4 throttle it 'sputters' real bad and I have no power. It bogs really bad past 1/4 throttle until I let off throttle a bit then the power returns. Can't drive it like this on hwy and barely on sidestreets.
It ran fine before teardown. I have tried new NGK plugs, wires, rotor, cap. Checked timing and seems to be at about 10* btdc as well as double checked timing belt. I checked all vac lines and electrical connections. All seems fine. What am I missing/forgetting. Any ideas? Thanks a ton.
