ok car is a 95 s14 ka24de. ka24det if it really matters. so it was running perfect until oil pump went out. so i pulled the motor and replaced the oil pump along with a new timing chain kit. everything was installed according to fsm specs.

car starts and idles good. but as soon as i give it gas it kinda struggles. it doesnt rev up like it used to. so i check the timing with a timing gun. its obviously off but i have to turn the distributor fully clockwise just to get it close to stock timing which is 20 degrees btdc. now i know thats not normal but car runs a little better but its still not right. i can drive normally but as soon as i mash the gas pedal the car goes nowhere. power is not there... just feels and hears like the intake is sucking a lot of air.

i took top chain off and took pics putting it back together.

crank pulley set at tdc.

cam lobes facing outward.

timing chain marks lined up with cam sprocket marks.

cant really see it but silver chain link lined up with mark on idle sprocket.

distributor marks lined up before putting it in.

cant really see it but how the dizzy marks look when inserted.

dizzy rotor lined up with #1 wire

so did i do anything wrong?
