okay maybe the title doesnt make sence
heres what happend
i was driving to work, just as i pulled into work i heard an unusual flapping noise in the engine bay
i got to a junction and my car stalled,
it started up again, but was hella lumpy, i knew something wasnt right
the first thing i suspected was the cam belt (it was a uni part belt i dont trust there crap but the whole kit was cheap)
when i removed the cam belt cover, half the cam belt was missing infact there was about a 15mm thin stip of belt going round the cams pullies etc.. and lots of fibreglass fluff and rubber shavings.
i got the car towed home, removed all the belt cover to find that a bolt from the water pump had somehow wiggled out and wedged it self in the little gap where the crank pulley it, the head of the bolt has caught the belt and ripped it to pieces,
fortunatly about 2days before i had bought a gates powergrip belt with the intention of replacing it due to not trusting the unipart belt,
so i cleaned out all the fibreglass belt crap and rubber and whipped the new belt on, timed it all up perfectly (the timing had jumped out by about 2-4teeth(i also replaced the water pump bolt and did it up extremly tight and tightened all the others), put everything back together and now the car seems to be running pants,
its lost torque throughout the whole rev range
so i thought great a bent valve,
i got a compression tester and a long 14mm tapered spark plug adapter thinggy and tested the engine when it was warm
and got the following readings
cylinder 1 = 9.5bar ish
cylinder 2 = 9.9bar ish
cylinder 3 = 9.7bar ish
cylinder 4 = 9.8bar ish
so it would seem the compression is all good (i think)
please could someone reeel off the list of possible things that would make my rs1800si run pants so i can go through them all
i've cleaned the maf and icvs
the timing is spot on (the metal bar glides thorough the cams at tdc

)
spark plugs are cleaned and gapped, leads have all been checked and cleaned
not sure how to test lambda.
all suggestions appreciated
