The timing on that engine is computer controlled. It requires an engine scanner to set the timing. No other way.

What is an auxillary shaft for a el Ford Falcon?
the aux shaft your refering to is the shaft which runs of the the timing chain which in turn drives the distributor.
Why does the distributor shaft on your 1991 dodge spirit not rotate?
broken timing belt
How do you set the timing on a 1984 Nissan Z24 truck?
the oil pump is synchronized with the distributor by way of a shaft between the two. It's possible to misalign the shaft (oil thrower) between the two and get exact opposite timing. try removing the covers, align the timing marks and set at TDC, then align the shaft by moving the pump and the distributor together until they slide toward each other and fit flush against the engine. Reassemble and rotate the distributor to set the timing.
Where is the distributor cap on a 2000 Pontiac Montana?
Most likely does not one they have a crank shaft and cam shaft sensors to regulate the timing and fuel distrobution
Is timing belt and cam belt the same?
Yes, timing is when your cam opens and closes your valves also your distributor shaft which regulates the firing of your plugs.
Can the timing gear that you see when you remove the distributor on a 1969 350 Chevy engine be pulled out while removing the distributor and change the position of the gear that drives the distributor?
There is a gear on the distributor shaft and a gear on the end of the camshaft that it engages with. The gear on the camshaft cannot be removed as it is part of the camshaft. The gear on the distributor shaft can be removed if it is worn; however, this is rare. These two gears must be in proper mesh for the engine to run; one cog off and it will not start.If you need further assistance google ' finding top dead center on a 350 chevy'.
What control the timing on a 1987 4Runner?
If everything is right internally then the distributor does. Rotating the distributor adjusts the exact time the spark plug fires. BUT There is a timing chain and timing marks on the crankshaft and the cam shaft. Then there is an electrical advance from the computer and the internal ignition module and pickup coil inside the distributor. Together these all can effect the timing.
What position is the rotor after timing the cams with the crank shaft.?
Standard is that it is pointing at the number one position on the distributor cap.
Is the oil pump shaft lined up with the distributor shaft a certain way or can it be moved to get distributor gear to line up?
you can turn it with a long handled screw driver if you wish, but its easier to just turn the distributor until it drops down into place. then set your timing
Dodge Dakota crank sensor what is it for?
most crank sensors are for engine timing with the cam shaft, the distributor on at least 97' dodge and newer controls fuel timing.
Why won't a distributor turn?
If you mean that the shaft won't turn while the engine is cranking then check the following: Your pinion gear is stripped or the roll pin on the pinion gear is sheared...or... I'm willing to bet that your distributor is not fully seated into its socket and the pinion gear is not engaging--if the distributor doesn't seat all the way, it could be that the oil pump shaft has not engaged properly into the end of the distributor shaft and it is keeping it from seating...if this is the case, then rotate the distributor shaft by hand by turning the rotor until it catches the oil pump shaft then rotate it backwards, past the initial timing mark until the pinion hits the right position so the rotor lines up with the timing mark when the distributor is fully seated (this can take a little trial-and-error to get it ligned up right). If you mean that the whole distributor won't turn (while you are trying to set the timing) then you probably haven't sufficiently loosened the clamping bolt or you are not applying enough force.
How to adjust 1990 s-10 blazer distrubator timing it's back firing and hard starting?
you could advance or retard the timing on the distributor by simply rotating it clockwise or counter clock wise depending which way your engine rotates.(usually clockwise) there is a nut that holds down the distributor shaft,loosen it up and you would be able to move the distributor.(carefull not to allow the shaft to come out of its base),DO NOT remove the nut all the way. on another note you may need to adjust the static timing(distributor timing) completely if you want the vehicle to start on the first try.
