new here with a DA9

im getttn it from a guy that works at TDC....im pretty confident in him. i was thinkin about getting my swap done there since its better worth my money to have them do it then try doing it at my shop on my back. but instead im going to save that money and get a set of 16 inch rota grids and nitto tires

just made a order with password jdm for a wiper plug, hardened shift bushings, and a innovative a/t to 5 speed mount!

so how bout this shit...i wash my car and clean under the hood.

i figured id let it all dry before starting it so i wait about 25 min and go to crank it up, its running fine and then i go to put it in gear and it just sputters like on a 2 step and then backfired and died.
i try cranking it back up again and it just spins over and over.
so i check timing belt....it jumped time......so i put it back in time which sucks in the dark btw
check plugs and the cylinder closest to the distributor...im guessing 4? was oily, so i cleaned all the plugs and put them back in and fired it up and it sounds ok except that you have to hold your foot on the gas to keep it running and no matter how much gas you give it, it just has a really low idle....im guessing its a fuel related problelm??

please help!!!!

well its clean but now wont run lol but heres some clean pics of it....

Well its back alive. I recheked my timing and I had both cams advanced 2 teeth. I guess trying to do a timing belt at midnight is bad idea

I apreciate all advice givin

I already have cruise control but I'm looking for a specific part for cruise. Im looking for the part behind the steering wheel that you plug the horn and cruise into from the steering wheel.
