Hi all! I need some help/advice and can't find such a comprehensive site in SA; hopefully someone will be able to help me here...
Here is a copy of the thread I posted under Uno's:

:bang:
I am at the end of my rope.
My Uno Pacer's cambelt went about a month ago and all 8 valves/pistons had to be fixed. Since then she has had very erratic idling and its almost as if she's misfiring.
My brother (amateur mechanic) suggested I try the vacuum gage and to fiddle with idling. Idling is now down to 1.10, but for the life of me I couldn't get the vacuum setting any higher than 16! And she is pinging her heart out!
My brother tested the distributer/coil/spark plugs and couldn't find anything there.
Today I emptied a bottle of Carbcleaner in the carb, to no avail; absolutely NO change.
Any advice?
I'm in Centurion (South Africa) are if there's somebody who could possibly help me...
 
Similar problem when I push - started my 1991 Pacer SX a few years ago and the cambelt slipped off the pulley, major damage - Nissan Kempton nearly killed me with a bill of R7500 six weeks later and on return experienced a similar problem. Hang in there , help is on its way - will keep you posted !
 
I dont know this engine, but if head/etc has been off and replaced it sounds similar symptoms to the cam timing being too advanced? especially if car was running fine prior to cambelt break...If yah lucky a punto enthusiast may be able to pinpoint a better solution....;)
