How do you fix the timing on a 1989 Ford Thunderbird V6 super charged?
you cannot fix the timing on your tbird as it is electronically controlled and does not have a distrubutor. have your camshaft or crankshaft sensors checked
How do I find the timing mark for a 1992 Izusu Trooper?
The timing marks are located on the lower section of the timing belt cover above the crankshaft pulley. The mark is on the crankshaft pulley. The timing cannot be adjusted on the 3.2L engines. The timing is computer controlled by the ecm wich receives a signal from the crankshaft position sensor. The timing marks for the timing belt are on the camshaft pulleys ( aligned with dots on the front of the metal rear piece of the timing chain cover) and the lip behind the crankshaft timing belt pulley. It is a half circle slot that you align with a horizontal line on the oil pump at about 3 oclock ( right hand side ).
Does a 1999 Chrysler cirrus have a camshaft position sensor?
Yea, the crankshaft sensor is under the distributor and the camshaft sensor is inside the distributor, you cannot change it so you will have to replace the whole distributor.
How do you set the ignition timing on a 1996 Jeep Cherokee?
You cannot "set the ignition timing" Timing is adjusted by the computer as it monitors the "CPS" Crankshaft Position Sensor. True statement Gregg, but! Your forgetting the whole picture. The camshaft sensor is in the distributor which is gear driven by the camshaft, the camshaft is then driven by the crankshaft by the timing chain. Technically, when you install the Camshaft sensor (distributor) you turn the engine (crankshaft) to position the piston on #1 cylinder at TDC (top dead center). The timing mark on the harmonic balancer should read 0. You then install the distributor with the rotor lined up to the center of the #1 cylinder lug on the distributor cap. Theoretically, from this position the computer adjusts the timing as needed. However, on occasion the rotor does NOT line up dead center of the lug on the distributor and I have had vehicles then backfire and stumble, even after following the above procedure. For a number of reasons the timing is off! To correct this misalignment I have adjusted the timing by turning (advancing) the crankshaft position a few degrees on the harmonic balancer and then re-installed the distributor with the rotor dead center on #1 lug on the cap! Seemed to make the computer happy and eliminated the stumble and backfire! So, in short! The timing can be played with!
Can a car turn on without a timing belt?
Hmmmm. I guess that depends on what "turn on" means. Can you turn the key to the "on" position and expect the radio to work? Yes. However, assuming you mean to ask if the car motor will run or not, No. The camshaft is "driven" by the crankshaft via the timing belt. Fuel injectors, distributors and spark boxes are all actuated by the timing of the camshaft. Since the camshaft(s) no longer turn, the motor cannot start - or run. It will "turn over" when you turn the key to the 'start' position, because the starter can still engage with the flywheel. However, this can cause permanent damage to the motor. SOME engines have "mechanical interference" which means when the timing belt fails, the intake or exhaust valves get stuck in the open position and when the piston reaches the top of the cylinder it will collide with the valves - NOT GOOD!!
Where is the location of the crankshaft position sensor for a 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS 3.0L eng?
Look for the crankshaft position sensor right next to the timing belt pulley at the driver's side of the crankshaft where it exits the front of the block. It is located inside the lower front timing cover and is mounted onto the block itself.It is a LOT of work to get the engine torn down far enough to access it. You may want to test it/have it tested before digging in that deep as they rarely fail.By the way, they mount in a fixed position which is NOT adjustable (IE you cannot advance the timing by moving it around etc).Good luck
Why are all your belts turning but not your timing belt when you try to turn it over in your 1994 Dodge Shadow?
They are in totally different parts of the engine. The timing belt is INSIDE the cover and you probably can't even see it unless you pull covers and partially disassemble the front. The serpentine belt is driven off the crankshaft and is on the OUTSIDE of the cover, always visible and accessable. The serp belt drives water pump, alternator, ac, power steering and air pump if any. While both are driven off the crankshaft and both are "belts", that's where the similarities end. Timing belt cannot be allowed to "slip". It has to engage the teeth and the camshaft has to always be in the same position relative to the crankshaft. Once the timing belt starts to slip, even one tooth, it's done, and possibly the valves too.
What is the correct timing setting for a 1986 VW Golf 1.8L single overhead cam?
There has been a lot of mail concerning how to set timing with an unknown engine. I think a basic description of timing might help sort out a lot of this. First, you should know that there are two types of timing in an engine: cam timing and ignition timing. (Three types, if you count injector pulse, but injection timing on gasoline-powered busses is tied to ignition timing and is not separately adjustable so I will ignore it, as should you.) Cam timing is what determines when the valves open and close with respect to the position of the pistons in their bores. It is set when the engine is built- by placing the camshaft and crankshaft in the correct relationship. It cannot be adjusted on a stock engine. It doesn
What is the timing for a Kia Sportage?
it is auto timed thru the cam shaft and crankshaft sensors.You cannot change it. The timing belt has timing marks when you change the belt in which you line up the crank and cams.
How do you change timing belt on a 1999 Nissan Quest?
1. f the timing belt is to be removed, it is good practice to turn the crankshaft until the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC) of the No. 1 cylinder, compression stroke (firing position), before beginning work. This should align all timing marks and serve as a reference for all work that follows. After verifying that the engine is at TDC for the No. 1 cylinder, do not crank the engine or allow the crankshaft or camshaft sprockets to be turned otherwise engine timing will be lost.2. Drain the cooling system.3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.4. Remove the alternator drive belt, water pump and power steering pump belt and the air conditioning compressor belt, if equipped, using the recommended drive belt removal procedure.5. If equipped with air conditioning, remove the 3 air conditioning compressor drive belt idler pulley bolts and remove the idler pulley.6. Remove the upper radiator hose bracket bolt. Remove the upper hose with the bracket from the vehicle.7. Remove the water bypass hose from between the thermostat housing and the lower water hose connection.8. Remove the main wiring harness from the upper engine front cover.9. Remove the 8 upper engine front cover bolts and remove the upper cover.10. Raise and safely support the vehicle.11. Remove the right side front wheel and tire assembly.12. Remove the 4 right side engine and transmission splash shield bolts and 2 screws, and remove the right side outer engine and transaxle splash shield.13. Use a strap wrench to hold the water pump pulley. Remove the 4 pulley bolts, and the water pump pulley.14. Use a strap wrench to hold the crankshaft pulley. Remove the center pulley bolt, and the crankshaft pulley using a harmonic balancer (damper) puller to draw the pulley from the front of the crankshaft.15. Remove the 5 lower engine front cover bolts, then remove the lower engine front cover.16. Be sure that the timing marks between the crankshaft sprocket and the oil pump housing align.17. If the timing belt is to be reused, mark an arrow on the belt indicating the direction of rotation. The directional arrow is necessary to ensure that the timing belt, if it to be reused, can reinstalled in the same direction.18. Loosen the timing belt tensioner nut and slip the timing belt off of the sprockets.19. If necessary, the camshaft sprockets can be removed. A special spanner tool is designed to hold the sprocket to keep it from turning while the center bolt is being loosened. Use care if using substitutes.Note: If necessary, the crankshaft sprocket can be removed. The outer timing belt guide (looks like a large washer) and the crankshaft sprocket simply pull off the front of the crankshaft.-To install-1. Clean all parts well. If removed, inspect the crankshaft sprocket for warping or abnormal wear. Check the sprocket teeth for wear, deformation, chipping or other damage. Replace as necessary. Clean the sprocket mounting surface to ease installation. Install the key. Slip the sprocket onto the crankshaft. Tap it in place with a suitably-sized socket.2. If removed, inspect the camshaft sprockets for damage and wear. Replace as required. The sprockets should be markedL3to designate the front, or left side camshaft and R3 to designate the rear, or right side camshaft. Use care to install the sprockets properly. A special spanner tool is designed to hold the sprocket to keep it from turning while the center bolt is being tightened. Use care if using a substitute. Tighten the camshaft sprocket center bolts to 58-65 ft. lbs. (78-88 Nm) for the 3.0L engine or 61 ft. lbs. (83 Nm) for the 3.3L engine. Verify that the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets and the timing marks on the rear cover (called the seal plate) are aligned.3. Use an Allen wrench to turn the timing belt tensioner clockwise until the belt tensioner spring is fully extended. Temporarily tighten the tensioner nut to 32-43 ft. lbs. (43-58 Nm).4. If a new timing belt is to be installed, look for a printed arrow on the belt. Be sure the arrow is pointing away from the engine. If the original timing belt is to be reused, be sure that the directional arrow that was marked at disassembly is facing the correct direction.5. A new Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) timing belt should have 3 white timing marks on it that indicate the correct timing positions of the camshafts and the crankshaft. These marks are to help ensure that the engine is properly timed. When the engine is properly timed, each white timing mark on the timing belt will be aligned with the corresponding camshaft and crankshaft timing mark on the sprocket. Because the white timing marks are not evenly spaced, the technician needs to use care in installing the belt. There should be 40 timing belt teeth between the timing marks on the front and rear camshaft sprockets and 43 teeth between the timing mark on the front camshaft sprocket and the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket.6. Verify that the camshaft timing marks are aligned with the timing marks on the rear cover (seal plate) and that the crankshaft sprocket timing mark is aligned with the timing mark on the oil pump housing.7. Install the timing belt starting at the crankshaft sprocket and moving around the camshaft sprockets following a counterclockwise path. Do not allow any slack in the timing belt between the sprockets. After all of the timing marks are aligned with the timing belt installed, slip the timing belt onto the belt tensioner.8. While holding the timing belt tensioner with an Allen wrench, loosen the tensioner nut. Allow the tensioner to put pressure on the timing belt. Use an Allen wrench to turn the timing belt tensioner 70-80 degrees clockwise and tighten the timing belt tensioner nut to 32-43 ft. lbs. (43-58 Nm).9. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise twice and align the No. 1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke (firing position).10. Apply 22 lbs. (10kg) of force on the timing belt between the rear camshaft sprocket and the timing belt tensioner. An assistant may be needed. While holding the timing belt tensioner steady with an Allen wrench, loosen the timing belt tensioner nut. Remove the Allen wrench and adjust the timing belt tensioner using the following procedure:§ Install a 0.0138 in. (0.35mm) thick and 0.500 in. (12.7mm) wide feeler gauge where the timing belt just starts to go around the tensioner (approximately the 4 o'clock position, looking at the tensioner).§ Turn the crankshaft sprocket clockwise, which should force the feeler gauge between the timing belt and the tensioner, up to a position on the tensioner of about 1 o'clock.§ Tighten the timing belt tensioner nut to 32-43 ft. lbs. (43-58 Nm) for the 3.0L engine or 61 ft. lbs. (83 Nm) for the 3.3L engine.§ Turn the crankshaft clockwise to rotate the feeler gauge out from between the timing belt tensioner and the timing belt.11. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise twice, and once again align the No. 1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke (firing position).12. Apply 22 lbs. (10 kg) of force on the timing belt between the front and rear camshaft sprockets. Measure the amount of belt deflection. Belt deflection should be between 0.51-0.59 in. (13-15mm). If belt deflection is out of specification, repeat Steps 29 through 33. If the timing belt deflection cannot be adjusted into specification, the timing belt will have to be replaced.13. Position the lower engine front cover and install the 5 lower cover bolts. Do not over tighten. Tighten to 27-44 inch lbs. (3-5 Nm).14. Install the outer timing belt guide next to the crankshaft sprocket with the dished side facing away from the cylinder block. Install the crankshaft pulley. Use a strap wrench to keep the crankshaft pulley from turning and tighten the center bolt to 90-98 ft. lbs. (123-132 Nm) for the 3.0L engine or 148 ft. lbs. (201 Nm) for the 3.3L engine.15. Position the water pump pulley on the pump. Install the 4 bolts. Use a strap wrench to keep the water pump pulley from turning and tighten the 4 water pump pulley bolts to 12-15 ft. lbs. (16-21 Nm) for the 3.0L engine or 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm) for the 3.3L engine.16. Position the right side outer engine and transaxle splash shield, and secure with the 4 bolts and 2 screws.17. Install the right side front wheel and tire assembly. Tighten the lug nuts to 72-87 ft. lbs. (98-118 Nm).18. Lower the vehicle.19. Position the upper engine timing belt front cover and tighten the 8 bolts to 27-44 inch lbs. (3-5 Nm).20. Install the main wiring harness on the upper engine front cover.21. Position the water bypass hose between the thermostat housing and water connection. Install the upper radiator hose between the radiator and the water hose connection. Secure the hoses with clamps. Install the upper radiator hose bracket. Tighten the bracket bolt to 34-58 ft. lbs. (46-65 Nm).22. If equipped, position the air conditioning compressor drive belt idler pulley and install the 3 bolts. Tighten to 15 ft. lbs. (21 Nm).23. Install and adjust the alternator drive belt, the water pump and power steering pump drive belt and the air conditioning compressor drive belt, if equipped.24. Connect the battery cable.25. Fill the cooling system.26. Start the engine and allow it to warm to operating temperature. Check and adjust the ignition timing. Road test to verify correct engine operation.
