My car is running like crap, the car will Idle smooth at 800rpm, then after a minute or so it will slowly drop down to less than 500rpm. If I tap the gas it dies, but if I slowly ease on the gas it will rev up. While driving basically the harder you press the gas the slower it goes, The timing is set at TDC. Here are a few videos, after driving it or reving it for a while it wont start at all.http://s34.photobucket.com/alb...3.flvh ... lb...1.flv

Thanks for the help.

Is there a reason you have the timing at tdc right now?

Yes. Do that and then see what your symptoms are.

yup that was the problem, I also put in a 300zx fuel filter. The only other problem is a slight hesitation at 1500-2500rpm.
