Am having a problem with low end, engine breaking up, slight backfire, 700
to 2500 rpm. Believe it is due to bad sensor as have replaced many crank
sensors on other vehicles acting in similar nature. Any one with info on
the subject. It is DOHC. Should I be looking at another sensor. I replaced
timing belt @ 5000 miles ago. Plugs, fuel filter, etc, all new. 82,000 on
engine. Thanks

I think that year has a cam and crank angle sensor. Did you change wires? If
so, check your base timing. If it off, and I believe that year had
non-adjustable timing, you probably have skipped a tooth on the belt.

I had a similar problem with my '91 lancer GTI and new plug wires solved
that...
