Recently my mate made the unfortunate decision to buy a "running and driving" ford laser which upon arrival wasnt running and driving. The timing belt had jumped a tooth and was scraged but upon retiming the engine (reusing the belt) it now runs terribly(hunts at idle with it stalling out and can barely move itself in 2nd). I checked compression and got 140 psi on all cylinders and also checked for vac leaks but couldnt find any. Ive got a leakdown tester on the way but with compression being so even I have my doubts that itll prove anything. Any suggestions are welcome as I'm shit out of ideas.
