you missed your timing marks by at lest 180 degrees do it again. be alert its a fun one to do
I just found out that it has a timing chain because mine is being replaced.
has the engine run since new timing belt put on? if not whoever did the work, didnt get the timing right.
timing belt just replaced one today
make sure you timed no 1 on compression stroke
I just had to deal with this and as far as I have figured and tested its 1342.
Your timing is set by the factory, and held by the ECM....(computer).you cannot manually set the timing. the computer monitors firing orders, which plug isn't firing, and exaust gasses temperatures. youll notice that there is no Distributor,just two coils,each one with four plug wires.
I just replaced mine at about 95,000 miles.
I just had the timing cover gasket on my 2000 Ford Taurus replaced...Cost of Repair was $513
you usually need to replace a timing belt every 60,000 miles, so if you just purchased the vehicle it is better to have it replaced.
I just replaced the timing belt on my 98 camry 4 cly and know it has now spark and im am positive that it is in time
It should be 6 degrees before tdc, just make sure you disconnect the distributor's computer control wiring harness before you adjust, and check the timing with a timing gun.
it maybe just a timing problem
