Internal leakage on the spyder?
answercheck the firing order Turn the engine using a socket wrench on the large bolt on the front of the crankshaft pulley. Place a finger near the No. 1 spark plug hole and turn the crankshaft until the piston reaches Top Dead Center (TDC). As the engine approaches TDC, you will feel air being expelled by the No. 1 cylinder. If the position is not being met, turn the engine another full turn (360 degree). Once the engine's position is correct, install the spark plug. check the rotor location and start #1 plug wire where the rotor is pointing the firing order is 1-6-5-4-3-2 and the distributer turns clockwise answerI doubt it's the order, because I have a '91 and the only I had with it fuel wise was a loose wire on top of the tank 'cause of the bumpy roads, I live in Hawaii so,anyway, so check that too. It also could be a clogged fuel filter or line like I said a loose connection on your fuel pump or the pump itself could be dead. You never know, dodo happens.The oil pump is driven by the distributor shaft, so it's turning whenever the engine is turning.
If the starter is still rotating the crankshaft upon turning the key in the ignition, AND there is a charge from the ignition coil to the distributor, the problem is most likely that 1. The distributor is improperly timed and/or calibrated for the engine in which it is placed, 2. The distributor is the incorrect type for the engine it is attached to, or 3. the mechanical linkages that spin the rotor are defective or incorrectly installed.
Your mechanic has put the distributor in wrong or he has the plug wires on the cap wrong.
The distributor cap should have the number 1 marked on it. The distributor cap is installed with the # 1 position facing the engine , slightly towards the drivers side of the engine
The # 1 position on the distributor cap is installed facing to the rear , and slightly towards drivers side of engine
Because the replacement distributor and spark plugs wont fire correctly if it installed in any other position.
Either the gear on the end of the distributor shaft is chewed off or the gear that drives it is . Possibly broken cam.
The firing order on the 4.9 L ( 300 cubic inch ) straight six is 1-5-3-6-2-4 The distributor rotor rotates CLOCKWISE The distributor cap is installed with the # 1 position facing away from the engine ( if the # 1 distributor cap position is next to the engine the cap is installed 180 degrees out , flip it around ) The engine cylinders are numbered 1 to 6 from front to rear of the engine Hope this helps ( Helpfull )
The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 ) The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE The distributor cap is installed with the marked # 1 position facing away from the engine The engine cylinders are numbered 1 to 6 , going from front to rear The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 5 - 3 - 6 - 2 - 4 ) The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE The distributor cap is installed with the marked # 1 position facing away from the engine The engine cylinders are numbered 1 to 6 , going from front to rear
by turning the distributor This is a computer controlled timing engine. Turning the distributor alone can cause engine damage. Loosen distributor. Start engine, unplug timing connector under the glove compartment (brown wire with black tracer, single wire disconnect clip - black) the engine idle will slow. Time motor to 0-2 degrees. Tighten distributor, doublecheck the 0-2 degrees. Plug connector back together. You will see that the computer will reset the timing to 8-10 degrees.
Loosen the distributor hold-down bolt. Standing in front of the vehicle looking at the engine turning the distributor clockwise advances the timing. Turning the distributor counter-clockwise is retarding the timing. Hold the distributor steady while tightening the hold-down bolt. Factory hold-down bolt needs a 1/2 inch wrench.
I installed a rebuild engine 2.4 on my 98 nissan frontier , but it wont start. How can I check if the oil pump and the distributor are markings a correct.
