OK its a 99 Galant 4cy DOHC. with 185000 miles it hesitates and tries to stall. the trans irraticly shifts due to loss of engine power. just like my 3.0 Montero did. coil packs are good and fuel is good, new plugs and wires 4000 miles ago. There is a slight pinging which leads me towards the timing but before I change the belt I would like some suggestions of other things to check. Diagnostics gave a generic code for engine misfire.
Thanks for any help

Did you check the timing w/ a light? How bout a compression test, you got a lot of miles on that motor.
