^Are maybe it separated like DC's pulley did.

^Correct, this should only occur with a beat down stock pulley .

That is true, but I would double check to make sure it doesn't wobble, if it wobbles on the spot with just your hand, then there is something really wrong

As discussed over AIM, I'm pretty sure it is the ECU and the Idle screw being too unscrewed.

Need a little help
I am going to be attempting this, this weekend. Any suggestions to look out for? I got a timing gun from Sears a few weeks back.. (Craftsman). I had a problem back in the beginning of the winter where I was losing power at the wheels that I discovered at the dyno.
(Reference Thread: http://www.sr20-forum.com/general-sr20/12468-dyno-losing-power-need-help.html I got several ppl that suggested to check the timing and do compression test.)
What I want to do is check the timing and make sure it isn't retarded too much and affecting performance. I will probably advance it once I find problem but for now I want to set it back to stockish (12-13 degrees??) Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Your Knock sensor could be responsible for the timing going way down.

Stock timing is at 15*, if you want more power set it to 17-19 but 91+ gas will be needed.
