Hello everyone..

car is 94 GT Auto

if I get on the throttle and get into the upper rpm range ~4,500+ my car will sometimes stutter real bad and falls on its face (no its long before the rev limiter)... kind of sounds like launch control or something. been trying to troubleshoot for a while....any ideas?

Thanks!!!!
Jake
timing belt is probably off a tooth or two

or is this something I should worry about?
The 5S-FE is a non-interference engine, so you won't bend valves or anything. Still, not having timing right just generally isn't good though. Being you had a shop do it you should have a warranty on the job, take it back.
