Here is what happened, i drove back home from a weekend with my girlfriend. Stopped at a red light then proceeded to go. Got maybe 200 feet before all power stopped. Pulled over to find my timing belt had snapped off. Towed it to my friends tranny shop, where he put a new belt on and i would assume also did the timing.
Now i know what my car sounded like and felt like before the belt snapped and how it sounded after he fixed her. Completely on the opposite end of the spectrum. My neighbors complain when i leave for work, this morning they actually asked what was wrong. Aside from that, i picked her up Saturday and she seemed way off, she doesnt accelerate. She wont go past 40 mph, even with petal to metal and makes a backfire sound when pushing her past 40.
The only thing i can think of is clogged CAT, but my car is straight piped (bought this way), Fuel injectors arent properly functioning, fuel pump also not functioning, etc...
Could a valve adjustment fix the issue? What does that even do....
Pls help ive already dropped alot of money into this car and can't afford to keep doing it.....atleast for mechanical issues.
If you live in Pittsburgh and want to help i can give you contact info.
