Well, went back into the timing belt issue again. The mechanic/guru told me the right hand cam was off a tooth. Set the cam back a tooth, counted teeth to other cam (40 teeth between the dots), perfect. Counted from left cam (driver side) to crank mark (43 teeth). Perfect. However, only the driver cam mark lines up on the spot on the back plate. The passenger cam nor the crank pulley line up properly. Put back together and it runs like a scalded dog compared to before. Gas mileage is GREAT!! The "problem"(?) is that upon cranking cold, it automatically revs to 1200 rpm. After it warms up it idles to 750 rpm which is about where it should be. Haven't checked plugs yet to see if it is burning lean. I now think that the crank is off a tooth since upon lining up to TDC, the rotor is sitting to right of #1 as I look at it from the front of the Pathy. This seems correct mechanically (15deg.BTDC) speaking but want to get other input before having to go back in AGAIN. Thanks for the help. You guys are great.
