Hi,

I just had my timing belt changed as well as the distributer cap,
spark plugs and spark plug cables onmy 98 Nissan Pathfinder. AFter the
job was done, I noticed the power was lagging. SOmehow, I have to go
higher revs to get the same power I used to get. Is the timing off on
the engine due to the change or is something else that could be
causing it? Could it be the injectors being dirty? Anyone have
suggestions, please help.

Thanks.

G.

They installed the T-belt one tooth off on one or both cams. They probably
didn't use the dealer T-belt which has the correct marks on it, the timing
cover marks are wrong or at best confusing. It's REAL easy to get the pass
side cam retarded a tooth if you don't use the dealer belt....

First take the inspection cover off the timing belt and check to make
sure that it is not off a tooth on the mechanical timing. Then, check
to make sure the factory time is set correctly.
