Before I head back to the shop I had the car in, Ill describe my problems here, if anyone might have any ideas.
Had a routine tune-up done to my '98 Protege, 1.5. Has round 81k miles, I bought the car used, and I dont have the previous maintenance records (if there are any )
The tune-up consisted of a new timing belt, plugs and wires, rotor, oil filter, cam seals, water pump, transmission filter (this is an automatic also).
Right now, the idle seems a bit rougher, and acceleration is lacking. Buddy of mine said the timing could be off from the new timing belt, or the plugs/wires could be bad.
Either way, Im taking it back in. Their parts and labor are guaranteed for 30 days, so I gotta take care of it pretty quick.
After dropping a couple hundred bucks, I feel it should be running pretty top-notch.
Actualy, I suppose this is a rant, then a post asking for help, but either way, this is a useful forum
