Running Rough
My SVX seems to be running more roughly than it used to. It's seeming to have a bit of trouble turning over some of the time. Like I have to crank for quite a while. And when it's first fired up it feels a bit like it wants to stall. It doesn't, but it does shake the whole care pretty good.
As soon as you give it gas it seems to calm down, until it comes back to idle. After about 5 minutes it pretty much settles down. Also, it seems to be somewhat low on power.
I changed out all the fluids, and re-checked that they're all at the right levels. I'd swapped out the water pump and had to take off the timing belt. I believe that I got it on correctly, but if I had it off by a tiny tiny bit could it cause these symptoms?? Or could that or the alternator belt being to tight cause it??
Thanks,
Matthew
