I put my foot on the gas pedal engine slowly raises up to speed this is when im driving the car by the way its a protegedx if that will help and also the car blows out blue smoke out of the tail pipe. Just put a new timing belt on the car. THE car had plenty of power before I changed the timing belt.I purchased a new timing light to time my car and accidently drop it so did not get to time my car. I got semi close so may be that could be the problem. If you would please let me know what could be the problem. Thank you

Hi wendell123,

I believe the timing belt had been installed out of sync causing the loss of power.?Recheck the timing belt installation.

The blue smoke should be due to engine oil being burnt in the cylinders or getting to the exhaust via the valve seals.
