Guys,

I am hoping someone out there can give me some help. I recently brought an RS Turbo Cabbie with a fooked engine. I rebuilt the bottom end with new piston rings and big end bearings. I had the head cleaned and skimmed (the previous skim was awful) the valve guides replaced, the valves reseated and new valve stem oil seals.

I put the engine back together and it has never run fine since. Recently I have managed to get the car to start on the button and idle but until you get up on the turbo the car coughs and splutters. It seems like a timing problem but I have checked the cam belt and I havnt jumped a tooth and twidling the distributor seems to make it worse. When driving its even more hesitant.

I have also had problems with new spark plugs as the only ones that seem to work are the old ones even tho I brought the same ones from my local store.

I know the guy that had the car before me was running a chip so I had to adjust the fueling back to where it should be but in the end I had to turn the fuelling down almost two turns.

Please help me, Please.

Rob
