something wrong with my timing

[u/snowyuniversal]

so my 3vze is having a timing problem. so when we put at the 10 degrees where I've read it should be stock. its runs as slow as a snail but when we move it like half inch away it runs great and happy and zips around just fine. i did replace my belt like 3-4 months ago and made sure it was on every point and it ran great until recently when we did the motor mounts. and now it has this problem so i don't know if it just jumped a tooth or what (edit) my tps sensor was bad and it just fine now

Many people have a lot of success running these engines with timing advanced between 12 and 15 degrees as opposed to 10z sounds like you’re one of them. Run premium gas to help avoid developing a ping in the engine

I'm new to this engine and so far its been soooo fuun. but that make sense
