the rotation is counter clock wise and the firing order is 1-3-2.
there is an arrow on the dist cap indicating the direction of rotation.
-6 degrees BTDC
timing does not need to be set on the 1.3l engine in model year 1999 as it is a distributor less igniton system all timing is done by the ecm
As I understand, the timing is computer controlled on the 98 metro. this means that it does not have a traditional distributor cap (which can be adjusted mechanically) but rather an electronic sensor. I believe it can be reprogramed with a mod chip though. --RS4
The ignition timing for a 1989 Geo Metro 1.0L engine is 12 degrees BTDC. (Note, first production year for the Geo Metro was 1989 rather than 1988). In 1988 Chevy did produce the Sprint model ... in which case the timing would be as follows: With 2bbl carb: 6 degrees BTDC for automatic transmission models; 10 degrees BTDC for manual trans models. With fuel injection: 12 degrees BTDC Additional info: Distributor rotation is counter-clockwise; firing order is 1-3-2
Yes.
can someone tell me how to adjust timing on a geo metro 1996
Disconnect any vacuum hoses from the distributor and plug them. Then you loosen the distributor hold down screws and turn it clockwise to advance the timing or counter clockwise to retard it. Tighten the hold downs, reconnect the vacuum lines and away you go.
The timing marks on a 1993 Geo Metro are located on the on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. They must be aligned together to ensure proper initial timing.
i need timeing marks for a 1999 1.3 chevy metro
On the three cylinder, it's 1-3-2. Distributor rotates counter-clockwise. On the 1.3 liter four cylinder, it's 1-3-4-2. Same rotation on the dist.
Chevy Metro 2001 (1.3 L) has a timing belt - hard driving conditions require its replacement at 60,000 miles, otherwise the timing belt replacement is scheduled for 100,000 miles.
