timing would be my guess. a car out of time can sometimes still idle ok but once under a load the miss in the timing becomes noticable. i think theres something to do with the timing behind the opti. when my friend did his he told me about it but his is a 94 or 95. also, does that year have the vaccume line to it. if so might wanna check that.
You can't really screw the timing up, it all is indexed only one way, the ecu controls the timing.
Its not like a older distributer that you can adjust timing just by moving the cap around or anything like that.
