did you just work on it or something?

rockenuptown

yea it just got back from the shop someone else did the work i had it for 30 min and shit goes wrong with it i waited a month too

take it back, they cant release a car with that type condition. Almost sounds like timing could be off, or a huge vaccum leak.

he did replace all the belts it might be it but how does that explain the backfire in the engine and the smoke from the oil cap

then cam gears are 180 degrees out if it's a DOHC engine, having bad timing marks could also resort to possible bent valves on interfierence engine. take it back or ask for money back and take it some where else.

well same thing just easier to line up marks, was the car running fine before?

rockenuptown
