Default I need help with my car

sorry didnt mean to put caps but hey i need help like now! anyways i just replaced my timing belt and did a 95 cam swap in my car now when i go to start it i kinda wants to run if i dont give it gas it wont start but if i do it kinda runs. it sounds like i have a bad miss but no cel light and put in a different gauge cluster just to make sure. also my A/F ratio is sitting at 11-12 ( and it aint a cheap A/F gauge eaither it is the legit AEM gauge and sensor.) so does any body have any ideas.

I would check your compression. 99.9% probability is when your timing belt snapped, you bent some valves. Did you also change the water pump and idler pulley? If not, you should have.

I don't always have a chance to get on but do when I can. Had a busy weekend this past one! Make sure to get a new water pump and idler pulley if you didn't do it the first time. Don't wanna do all that work, then have the pump go out and you are doing it all over again. NOT FUN!

oh yea i hear that man i put the 95 cam in and it ran like that so i thought it was the cam so i switched them then i didnt get the timing just right so i had to remove it again, then i broke my allen wrench trying to get it out so off it came again, then i realized i had to pull the head so once again lol. trust me if anyone needs a timing belt swapped i can do that in about 5 min now lol. but yes i did the water pump and idler the first time. just got the head back and the new valves are in and good to go. now i must get back to work to assembly.....Tomorrow
