Message Finally got my car back together last night after fixing an oil leak, but I am having a few issues.
1) weak acceleration
2) delayed acceleration when given throttle
3) knocking type noise from CAS

Here is what I did, or attempted to do
1) removed timing belt
2) replaced passenger side intake camshaft, this is where the oil leak was coming from... Bent Cam
3) replaced drivers side exhaust camshaft and CAS becuase I busted the index pin off the first time I was putting it back.
4) Replaced all camshaft seals and crank seal.

It does idle, but when i hit the throttle, there is a delay. When I took it for a test drive, the power just wasn't there. I think the CAS noise will go away, if I slide the drivers side exhaust camshaft back, towards the rear of the engine a few mm becuase when I loosened up the CAS to adjust it the noise went away.

Any suggestions? Timing off a tooth maybe?

Thanks,

Dave
