my buddy was driving my car and he is just learning how to drive a 5 spd. well he was on the highway and was about to redline in 3rd when he went to second instead of 4th. i pushed the car out of gear as fast as i could but i know it still revved super high. now the car is idling rough as hell and it has no bottom end power! the car has a really really rough idle. the car shakes pretty bad. i can feel a total lack of power when i drive it especially from idle til about 3500 rpms after that the car smooths out a bit. i can definetly hear a diffrence too. the exhaust is sputtering if that makes sence. also when i hit the gas at first the car wants to bog out. some people over at [240sx.org](http://240sx.org) said check the timing, any other suggestions? ---

check spark plugs. i know when i over reved teh firebird it ran like poo on the bottom end. and would run fine and then cut out like 5800 changed plugs and it ran fine. so i would do that first adn then check the timing. im going to think that it jumped a few teeth like someone said above. ---

DEFINATELY timing. The only other thing it could be is if you have a coil pack that it needs changed. I have an all electrical D.F.I. box which i hate. ---

well i went outside and changed the plugs it cut down on the shaking the car was doing. the car is idling fine now. the car still makes that sputtering noise from teh exhaust at low RPM driving but it doesnt have the lack of power feel. the car is fine above 4k ---
