Also check the air filter for a mouse nest or heavy clogging. Find a used MAF and swap it out to see if that helps.

It's almost certainly not the timing chain, they almost never go bad. But if someone has messed with the cams, they could be mis-timed. If the exhaust cam is off a tooth, then the ignition timing will be way off as well and the car will run like crap.
I already did oil changed n spark plugs n wires, i haven't done distributor, fuel filter or intake filter. i will take the cat out n check the distributor position n i'll check on the gas cable, i'll post another video on Saturday with these things installed. thanks i do have another spare b13 se-r maf sensor laying about in my room.
