Recently i changed the water pump on my car. I removed the accessory belt and alternator, I thought i had to remove the timing belt so i did. I followed the instructions to re install it and put the timing at TDC. Got it all put back together and started it up and it all appeared to run fine. However, now when the engine is cold to mid warmed it is very sluggish when first in gear (all the gears 1 - 5) and giving it gas, it feels like it hesitates and then finally picks up but it doesnt have quite the pep to it that it did before the work i did on it.
