how does an sr20det run with the timing off just a bit?

[sr_powered]

i want to know, cause my timing is off on my engine. i can't do the timing cause the engine idles very high ( i can't find the problem why). every time i go cruising, the rpm would reach to about 3500rpm and it will start to stall like when a person first drives a stick shift and don't know how to work the clutch and makes the car stalls. i don't know if this has to do with the timing or not.

kinda sounds like a maf problem.

Sounds like a sticking IACV.
