ok so i just finished up refreshing my motor. all new gaskets everywhere including head gasket. i followed all the fsm specs. the car was running perfect before but just wanted to change the gaskets.

the car starts and idles pretty normal. but when i rev it, the intake sounds really loud. i take it for a drive and its really really loud. its sounds like its reving at 6k but its reading only 3k and when i give it gas there is no power. it just gets louder and i go nowhere.

so im thinking its the timing. as i said before i followed all the fsm specs. i matched all the timing marks. made sure piston 1 was at tdc. also had a timing light to make sure it was at 20 btdc. but still has the same problem. i even did a compression check and its 195 across.

i do have a cel. its code 34 for the knock sensor. i noticed it was cracked so im going to change it. but i dont think a faulty knock sensor could retard my timing this much or affect the cars performace? other than that i have no idea whats wrong. so any ideas?
