Today, after having driven my 164 24v (LS) for a few hours, we stopped and had a 20 minutes shopping break. When I then started the car, it "felt" strange, but I didn't pay that much attention to it until after a few minutes. The car completely lacked power, and I now suspect the timing belt has slipped. However, from most other posts about slipped timing belts, I would expect a rough idle and a roughness that fades away with increasing revs. The behavior on mine is instead a smooth idle, and regardless of the rev, it runs very rough if I try to increase the speed/rev. It almost feels/sounds like there is something blocking the exhaust! If I instead keep the rev constant, it (almost) runs nice.
I replaced the timing belt and all accessories about a year ago, and have driven ~10000 km (6000 miles) since then.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
