I think where ever the rotor is pointing when #1 cylinder comes to the top is 1
No, that engine does not have a distributor.
well that's your problem your distributor is out of wack set #1 cylinder to top dead center and pull the distributor then put it back in so that the rotor points to #1 cylinder and set your timing from there i usually go for 8-10 degrees on a stock motor
restabbing distributor and setting time I'm replacing 4 cylinder motor in a 87 Chevy s10 how do I install distributor and get the truck in time
You can't. It doesn't have a distributor. The ECM does all that stuff electronically.
I would set it at 10 BTDC with the distributor vaccum unhooked while setting timing. 10 to 13 degrees is what the factory recomends.
I may not be 100% correct but i believe its on the base of the distributor
Most of these older Mopars like to run at 10 BTDC. Unplug the vaccum line to the distributor, mark the harmonic balancer with a little white paint on the 10 BTDC mark and hook up your light; loosen the distributor, move the distributor a little at a time. I hope this helps a little.
by turning the distributor This is a computer controlled timing engine. Turning the distributor alone can cause engine damage. Loosen distributor. Start engine, unplug timing connector under the glove compartment (brown wire with black tracer, single wire disconnect clip - black) the engine idle will slow. Time motor to 0-2 degrees. Tighten distributor, doublecheck the 0-2 degrees. Plug connector back together. You will see that the computer will reset the timing to 8-10 degrees.
Assuming a 1.6L engine, timing is generally controlled by the timing belt. Can adjust the timing by loosening the front lower bolt on the distributor and then rotating the distributor clockwise or counter clockwise. Use a timing light to set timing correctly. I believe it is 10 BTDC
The 2.2L engine doesn't have a distributor.
How many hours to put in a distributor in a 4.3 s-10 2002?
The sending unit is kind of hard to get to. I have a 94 2wd 4.3L v-6 and its under the hood on the back of the motor behind the distributor cap.
