Geo, I was thinking in the back of my mind that it could be the ECU but with my lack of experience, I really have no clue. I just went and watched a few youtube video's on timing lights and how to adjust the timing with the distributor, but its all kinda overwhelming.

I'm determined to get this thing on the road! And to answer the question about loosing coolant... I haven't had a chance to get it on the road to really see what the coolant is doing, but it seems to be holding just fine.

How would I go about diagnosing the ECU? And do you think the timing belt could be off a tooth? Thanks!
