The starter turns the flywheel at the back of the engine. When the flywheel turns the whole engine turns. The timing chain is on the other end at the front of the engine. It is connected to the crankshaft and camshaft (s). So indirectly yes it does. If the whole engine is turned but the timing chain doesn't, there is a problem. Probably a broken timing chain.
may be out of timing or check starter
the timing belt mark is to right of the head and the crank marker is to right about one oclock
If you have installed a timing chain and the engine will only turn a half a turn, you are out of time and may have bent valves.If you have installed a timing chain and the engine will only turn a half a turn, you are out of time and may have bent valves.
When you turn the engine over with the starter, which way does it turn? That is the direction it rotates.
Timing chains and timing belts are used to turn the cam shaft. The term timing chain or belt is a misnomer. They are really just a cam chain or cam belt.
A broken timing chain is a possibility.
replace your fuel filter.
The 2000 Saturn LS 2.2 comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. A timing chain is a metal chain that controls the timing of the engine's valves, while a timing belt is made of rubber and needs to be replaced at regular intervals. Timing chains are generally more durable and do not require routine maintenance like timing belts do.
You do not the computer does. so do I just put on the timing chain and try to turn over
Turn engine over and observe is distributor is rotating
Yes.
The engine will not fire. Remove the distributor cap and turn the engine over. If the rotor does not turn that is a good sign the chain has broken.
