Yes, if you're full advanced, and still gaining power, you're off a tooth.
Also do a compression test...

Ok, I replaced the PCV grommet, swapped the VAF for one I know works, checked for other vacuum leaks, set idle speed at 700 +/- 20, and none of that really did anything significant. So I played with ign. timing. Kept bumping it up little by little and it kept running better and better, but I've maxed it out and I'm still having a little bit of trouble getting over a hill in 5th gear. Maybe the cam belt is 1 tooth off?Leave a comment:

Used a coolant hose and a vacuum line. Both cars are '91, but the ECU in the new one is California and the engine is 49 states. Would that make a difference?Leave a comment:

Missed an ECU input?, ECU needs to learn this engine?, Were any parts from the new car used on the old engine?Leave a comment:

Stock Engine Swap-in. Having Issues
1991, all stock, took the worn out but running engine out of my first car and put it in the new one. While in the old one, I had the idle set at 850rpm to hide the exhaust smoke, but otherwise everything was normal. Now in the new one when I sart it, it has trouble getting up to speed and once it does, it goes to fast idle and then tries to idle down and then it starts to die. If I tap the throttle, it comes back up, fast idle, slows down, starts to die. Do this cycle a few times and then it stays running, but idles way too high, sounds around 1500rpm. I'll put my digital timing light on this weekend. Any other thoughts?
