well guys i have some problem and i really need your help
i saw that my radiator leak so i went to fix that, after i took it back i wanted to change the timing belt, cause i have done this lot's of times on ford's and zastava and some fiats, i thought that will be not really hard thing to do, i managed to change the belt i followed the lines at the top and at the bottom to be aligned, and than first tryed in place to move to see if the belt is ok and it was than i tryed to start the car for really short to see is it ok and the car started ok, and i turned it off immediatly, than put back the radiator and everything but i removed the thermostat cause i want to change it so i put everything back together only withot thermostat, and tryed to start the car, it started the sound is ok, but the car does not work ok, it runs on 2000rpm than on 1500 than on 2000 again... why is that cause i don't have thermostat or i made some mistake with the belt?
