    I had a friend of mine change my belts on my 94 accord (5 spd) (180k miles),
    and now I have a sudden loss of power, specially in the low rev's, less than
    3k. It's like it has no torque whatsoever. He has no clue what the cause
    is and he swears he did everything right (sure). Any ideas?

    To give you an impression of what's it's like, in first gear, starting from
    0mph, it'll take about 5 seconds to get to 3k revs, in a normal start.

    He's changed the belts before on other accords and the other ones are fine,
    the only difference between those and mine is that the others are
    automatics.

    I was reading another thread about oxygen sensors, could that be it?

    thanks

    The new timing belt is off by one tooth. He's going to have to re-do it.

    thanks for your answer......now another question:

    he fixed it and I got back about 90% of the power back. In low revs (less
    than 2k) it's still a little slow, but not by much. Should I expect this
    after changing the belts? Any other ideas? thanks for your response.
