Message	Changed my timing belt, water pump, everything that is in the 120k mile maintenance and also installed an underdrive crank pulley. The engine seems to run fine with no mis firing or odd noises at idle, however when I accelerate, it feels like the engine is going faster than the amount of power it's producing, and it seems to accelerate slower. If I had to guess, it FEELS like the crankshaft sprocket is slipping on the crank, but if I remember correctly, the sprocket has a groove the full length of it which keys to the crank, so it can't slip right?
