ka24de rough idle/ driveablility issue- help! -

So im picking up with 93 s13 with a stock ka from a friend in FL.

So im told it starts fine, but runs rough (never did this before until recently) people have been telling him it needs a new timing chain tensioner and all will be well again?


I know this is a horrible description to a problem but im waiting for more information from him.

new info
Quote:
IT started after we replaced all of the Timing components during the rebuild. Everything from factroy is plastic, now its all metal.

IT sounds like a chainsaw when its running like a metal chain rubbing against metal, and at idle the revs go up and down about 500rpms.

Now one of the reasons I haven't been driving it is because when you slow down the car dies, like either it's not getting enough fuel or the timing is not constant.
.

So if you guru's out there know or have heard of something like this please put your 2 cents in.

Thanks
