Yeah, I was also thinking about the timing belt... but shouldn't that show in loss of power at higher rpms ?
I had a half an hour today so checked a few things (removed timing belt cover, checked for belt tension, searched for loose bolts etc) so far everything looks OK.
I'll pull the valve cover this weekend and check the timing.
My other theory was, is it possible that one of the pullies
(PS or WP?) is kinda "sticking" or turns hard enough to make trouble at idle, but turns fine with more power ?
The accessory belt also looks fine btw, no squeaks, burnt smell etc.
thanks for the ideas,
Tiv
