Got it with trial and error! At rear of crank there is a 58 tooth gear with a 2 tooth gap ( commonly known as a 60 minus 2 gear ). This gear is tapped over the rear of the crank, in front of the main bearing oil seal casing. On the toothed gear, there is a hole... this hole must be alligned with the mark / hole in the 5 o'clock position on the seal casing ( 14 teeth past the pick-up ). The 2 tooth gap will be in the 9 o'clock position. Now your ignition timing is set! Check cam belt and cam timing marks and you are ready to start your engine.
That refers to engine timing. To set the timing on that year engine you MUST have a engine scanner to set the timing because it is computer controlled. A timing light will not work. The cam and crank sensors MUST be in correlation with each other. You probley have a bad cam are crank sensor if you are having starting and running problems. Only if the engine code is camshaft to crankshaft correlation. If you have removed are moved the distributor in any way then that will also give you the same code. Just have the timing set to specs and clear the codes.
i have replace the crankshaft sensor but the code cannot be erased
There are several reasons for the Chrysler error code 0016. Some of the possible reasons are dirty engine oil, misaligned timing gear, and bad crankshaft sensor.
This code is for the exhaust cam actuator timing system. There are a few things that can cause this. Anything from the actuator solenoid, to the actuator, to an internal engine problem. - Tech JK ------------------------------
1.3 engine, code J4C. This engine is fitted with a timing chain.
Engine code X22DTH This engine is fitted with a timing chain
Possible causes could be,Timing gear misaligned,Faulty crankshaft position sensor,Faulty camshaft position sensor,Engine oil dirty,Incorrect engine oil viscosity,Crankshaft position sensor circuit is open or shorted,Camshaft position sensor circuit is open or shorted,
Check to see if the wiring is damaged.
Crankshaft position sensor circuit malfunction.
