I posted something in post before but nobody responded so here I go again.
Car seems to be lacking power a bit.
Cambelt was changed a few thousand miles ago.
Can it be the "phase of the ignition" or "cambelt" timing was not setup correctly so the car lacks power now? (don't know the exact term in english). Hope somebody will understand what I'm talking about. If this is the case what can be done to correct this.
Thanks in advance

who did your cambelt??
are you check code?
ELM light on dash?

[mathewst]

No eml
Cannot check the code since it is 2.2
Car runs fine just seems to lack power since then.
Although could be clogged injector or cat
But don't know what to check first

Take off the cambelt cover, rotate engine manually clockwise until cam sprocket markings line up with marks on cam cover.  Check crank pulley mark aligns with Top Dead Centre mark.

If one of the cams was a tooth or so out that would reduce power and economy imo.
