Car was dead for about 2 months, found out my dizzy rotor broke. so got a new one put it in and now the car has no power takes ages to even rev to 4k not even in gear. Car is getting hot 3/4 on temp sensor. Idle was set to 1k and now when i let it run for around 5-10 min the headers are glowing red. Would this be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of wack timing or what? . No rev, no power, overheating ??? Just want some input on the issue. maybe ill make a video later

yea i hope its just timing. Todo timing on the m10 when i get it TDC , for the dizzy to i set it cyl 1 or 4? im only asking 4 becuase at my old job a week ago we set tiing on a older lancia and when we did that we had to start it on cyl4 on the dizzy. seems like the only good thing on my car is the trans i got from farbin lmao

the car is running to lean, the ICV is stuck closed. I tested this lastnight, i have a rip under the icv and if i let more air in the idle gose down and the engine still has power.

open up your dizzy, remove the rotor, look at a thing that is a brass color with 4 points on it - see if its loose... it shouldnt be. i had same problem, no biggie.
what thing? the dizzy cap? or the spring under the rotor?

*edit* oh and if its loose or been rotated to the wrong point itll be firing spark all over the shop and therefor horrible timing and engine damage/no power/other problems.
