Timing Belt Replacement Problems - Anyone??
After replacing the timing belt, spark plug wires, caps and rotors on my '93 LS400, the engine exhibits the following problems/symptoms:
- Startup: initially stubles but only for about a second.
- Idle: runs fine.
- Slow acceleration: revs freely.
- Hard acceleration: misses badly and will not rev past about 3K RPM.
What are the symptoms of an incorrectly installed timing belt?
Thx,
Steve

Found It!!!
After checking the:
base timing... OK
cam to crank timing... OK
placed timing light on all wires (at idle)... OK
resistance of wires... OK
I noticed a spark arc on from the RH coil wire to the cam gear on startup. PROBLEM was a defective Napa Brand coil wire. There was a hair-like wire extending from the back of the boot (see picture)...
Thanks for the help,
Steve
