hesitation and timing issues

[Oldschool88turb]

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have an 88 turbo that I just fixed a blow head gasket and to include a new timing belt, wires, plugs, belts, and hoses. Anyway I can seem to get the ignition time correct. I have rechecked the timing marks repeatedly. I have access to a toyota service manual but no matter how I adjust the cam sensor the timing is not right. I does idle high at about 1100 rpms and i can feel that it has alot more power but it just won't let loose. Pleasse help!

Welcome to SM. You're not going to be able to set timing correctly with that high an idle. Are you jumpering the diagnostic connector and checking for a normal code before trying to time it?

No I haven't checked the diagnostic port because i am not getting a check engine light. Will it still tell me what's going on?

I see that the manual calls for a diagostic check wire, can I just use a piece of wire or will that jack it up? Or do you have any suggestions?

You can use a paper clip or a piece of wire.
