AE86 slow on the revs and hesitant.

-Set crankpulley to 0 deg mark
-Check for dimple in camshaft under oil filler cap (not an option on aftermarket stuff probably).
-Take out nr1 sparkplug, use a long screwdriver or whatever and feel if the nr1 piston is really at TDC.
-Take out distributor @ top dead center. If you have it in correctly, there should be a line on the shaft that lines up to a dimple on the body directly above the shaft on the distributor ( or was it vice versa, anyhow you get the point).

-When you're sure piston nr1 is really at TDC, check campulley positions.

All three marks are where they're supposed to be when the piston is at TDC. I will remove the distributor and check how it lines up.

Set the timing so it runs well, high fast smooth idle. Forget the timing light, toss it except for checking that the advance works & passing emissions! Advance it until it only pings/detonates when abused, with the octane of your choice.

As it is now it idles at ~800-900RPM when hot. Now that you mention it, I'm not really sure the car advances the timing when the diagnostic is pulled out and emissions is not really anything I need to worry about, I'm allowed to have 4,5 CO . Don't have any chance to get a compression test done until 2 weeks or so .

Another thing that I thought of but it seems like a real long shot or maybe abit retarded is that the oil is to thick?

So my to-do list for Sunday so far (only chance I have to work on the car this week) is:

1. Check that the distributor lines up.
2. Try and advance the timing some more but 15 degrees BTDC seems really high already.
3. Spray startergas around the intake and vaccum hoses to check for leaks.
4. Some injectorcleaner?
5. ???


Thanks for all your help so far!
