Hey guys! I have a '92 with a an sr20 blacktop. The motor is in the car and does start and even runs, but there are a few gremlins lurking. Unfortunately I have not really had the time to put into the car but I feel it's about time to finally get it running so I can either drive it or sell it.

- If my timing is too far out could that possibly cause my car to overheat? after checking/adjusting the ignition timing(to correct a slight stumble in the idle) my temps went all the way hot in a matter of minutes of driving, although the temp held fine while warming up in the garage. Temp was fine at one point, so I know it had to have been something I did. Only major thing I did before this happened was adjust timing and checked the

- When grandma-driving it up and down the street it was fine. When I got on the gas at about 4k or so the car started bogging. Not sure what's causing it. Any ideas?

I'll give it a go myself but if anybody would like to offer some help or even advice on a shop that I can send it to I'm all ears.

Thanks!
