AE86 slow on the revs and hesitant.
Hello!

Just got my AE86 back together and on the road, unfortunately the engine won't run properly Sad. It's reeeally slow on the revs and throttle response (like a Volvo 740 GL) and lacks a fair bit of power. To describe the fault best as I can while driving, the car revs (rather slow) to about 3k then it's really slow and hesitant until after 5k where it gets a little bit better. It smokes quite a lot when stepping of the throttle on high revs, both white and some blue.

I've reset the ignition timing correctly 2 times as I first thought this was the problem. At 10 BTDC the car is barely driveable, you have to rev it hard and release the clutch slowly. Currently I'm running 15 BTDC and the car is driveable but slow revs and throttle response and hesitant on acceleration.

It drove wonderful last year before it went i the garage. Only things I've done to the engine over the winter is:
Rebuilt alternator and dizzy (why I thought it might be a ignition problem)
New airfilter
New oilcooler
Removed the viscous fan
Changed all the pullies to light weight

Other mods to the engine is
TRD cams 272ยบ 7,5mm
TRD Pistons
TRD 0,8mm gasket
Stainless header and exhaust

I'm really lost on what to do next. Buy new Sparkplugs, wires and dizzy cap? I'm thinking of doing a compression test on it aslo.
