A 5.7L with the IAFM intake it has a low profile distributor cap with the wires coming out the sides. (A traditional distributor has the top post outlets for the wires.)Those are set up with a "Net Build" timing system. There are tools fron K&D that flash a light but are inaccurate. You should take it to the dealer to have it timed.
No need to if the distributor was not moved.
you need to reset the timing the distributor did not go back in correctly
If you have put the distributor back in the proper position and its not out a tooth you might try to disconnect the battery for a few minutes (5-10 to be safe) to reset the computer. I really think you're out by a tooth which has changed the timing though...
If the distributor has not been moved the timing will be as it was before.
It is electronic controlled and requires an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing if it has a distributor. If it don't have 1 then there is NO adjustment for the timing. You did not give the engine size.
disconnect the negative battery cable for 30 seconds
The timing is set with the aid of a scan tool. It can not be done with a timing light.The timing is set with the aid of a scan tool. It can not be done with a timing light.
Purchase the shop manual for your vehicle, it will save you money for this job and many more repairs.
as long as the belt is on right it will work, start it
Where is the reset button on a 2000 Chevy suburban
Bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Look at the rotor to make sure its pointing to the No1 plug tower. If it is remove the distributor. THEN DON'T MOVE THE ENGINE. When installing distributor make sure the rotor is pointing to the No1 plug tower and install distributor. You can use a timing lite to reset the timing.
cam timing will not change ignition timing i would try 8 or 10 degees advance at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected.
