Alright so i got my 1uz up and running again. Started driving and i noticed that shes hesitaiting... If i accelerate faster then normal it boggs down. And it sometimes stalls when i come too a stop. And the exhaust note seems to have maybe half the revelations in sound as it normally would. Going to take out the cat and resonators here soon, that might help some of the issue with the breathing and back preasure. Any ideas? ( 92 sc400 1uz, 190k miles )

Did you just change out the timing belt or something? What did you do to get it up and running? 190k miles maintenance?
Sounds like your engine is misfiring to me. Check your coils and spark plugs to make sure all are in good shape.

Alright thanks guys, i heard some sparks comin from which to me sounded like the plug wires. I am going to buy some new wires and perhaps that will do it. Because before i heard the sparks from the spot she did not have the issue. So maybe 4 cyl arnt firing because the wire fried out? Would make sense considering the half revelation exhaust note, and the bog. Am i right?
And yes i did just swap the timing belt and water pump.

Pull your CELs before you do anything. Jump E1 and Te1, key to ON, and record flashes. Even if you're not currently displaying a CEL, most spark issues will report in your ECU as a CEL in memory.

I hope you got the timing right, if not, then there go your some of the valves.
Did you try to rotate the crank shaft and the pulleys with the timing belt on while try to mark the timing?
Bring the coils to Autozone to check to see if it's still good, if it's still good, then GREAT. Now go borrow the compression kit and do a compression test with your engine.

My timing is perfect, and i was driving her up to 50 the other day. So i completely doubt the valves are bent. And after i figure out how to check my ecu for codes or w/e it is. I will go and get everything i can get tested at autozone. My mothers b/f said when he heard how it sounded that he thought it was the throttle positioning sensor. But like i said going to check the ecu first. Is there a special way toget codes off the ecu? Never f'd with one.
