My dad and the guy that rebuilt my motor finally got the timing set on it today but it still doesn't have any power after you get to around 3000 rpm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) It's a 1.7 and fuel injected. Tomorrow they are going to check the fuel pressure and swap out the MPS for another one I have sitting on the shelf. Any ideas why this thing won't run?? Thanks Scott |

I rechecked them last night and seemed fine. I have the line from the tank on S. The return line on R, and the line going to the fuel pressure regulator is D. I think!
