How do you set the timing mark btdc on a 1993 Toyota Camry le 2.2 4-cylinder?

Answer 1

Remove the number one spark plug and take a screw driver and put it in the hole. have someone "bump" the starter (barely try to crank) until you feel the screw driver come up to the top of that cyl. or look on your main pully (which is the crank pully) it has marks on it again have someone bump the starter on the car to barely turn the motor, until the line is at the top according to the tab that sticks out on the top.. again it depends on how many degrees it is to the left or right of TDC line the mark up with the little arrow on the main crank .. you may also get a "timing light" which attaches to the number one spark plug wire and turn the distributor slowly while aiming it at the marks on the main crank pulley...with the car running Hope this helps ..
