Default Hesitation after timing chain tensioner install

My AP2 engine was running fine but in order to create more room I accidentally removed my (replaced by dealer 100 miles ago) stock timing chain tensioner. I reinstalled it after reading all the great posts here but now I have hesitation on acceleration. Also I initially had supercharger like whine (chain too tight?). I feels like a clogged fuel filter but It must be due to something I did with the TCT. The odd thing is that in neutral it revs freely and sounds really good and there are no codes. I'm pretty sure I reinstalled the two springs correctly. What do you think happened? I PM Billman to buy his TCT.

I really appreciate any help.

George

I'd not drive this until you get a proper TCT like Billmans. Read his instructions! Don't pull the TCT into the engine with the mounting screws.

(You mistakenly removed the TCT by just unbolting it, not accidentally. )
