can you screw up you car from playing with your timing
if you dont put it back

cus my car has really really bad hesitation and i think it could be the timeing

it idles ruf below 1100 rpm

well why dont you bust out the timing light and check it first to see if it's out of spec, if it is then adjust it untill the timing marks line up and it should idle better, if thats the problem of course.

also, is yoru car turbo? under boost depending on what octane your running and if your timing is off then it could cause problems. or at least thats what I think.

i run a pre mix (8 oz to 7 gal) and 89 oc
what is the spec timeing dose any one know??
and do you change it with a street port?

I don't think the timing is off, but you are welcome to check it out. And also, only run 87octane.

^ What he said about the octane. Running premix is just like adding octane booster (in a sense). It reduces the fuels willingness to detonate in the chamber, which is EXACTLY what the higher the octane rating does for you. In essence, you are hurting yourself even more by running higher octane.

Also, look up the procedures on checking timing. Timing being off like you describe it shouldn't hurt the engine. If it was so far off that it was causing detonation problems, you know...

All in all, it sounds like either one big issue or a culmination of little problems (like vaccum) causing this.
