Why does new 5.0 motor not have power and fires between 5 and 1 on distributor have checked timing gears?

There are two firing orders for the Ford 302. There is the standard 302 firing order of 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. Then there is the Ford 302 HO firing order which is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Make sure you are using the correct order. Set the #1 piston at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Now install the distributor so the rotor is pointed at the #1 plug connection on distributor cap.

What control the timing on a 1987 4Runner?
If everything is right internally then the distributor does. Rotating the distributor adjusts the exact time the spark plug fires. BUT There is a timing chain and timing marks on the crankshaft and the cam shaft. Then there is an electrical advance from the computer and the internal ignition module and pickup coil inside the distributor. Together these all can effect the timing.
What is the difference between advanced and retarded timing?
Advanced timing is when the spark plug fires AFTER Top Dead Center, retarded timing is when it fires BEFORE TDC.
You have a 1987 Isuzu pick up but it will not start. it just back fires from the cab and the timing is set what could be the problem?
Bad distributor cap and/or spark plug wires. Bad timing belt.
What fires the distributor?
where does the hot wire come from going to the distributor on a chevy 350
Could a timing problem an oxygen sensor or ECU problem cause your 92 twin turbo dohc dodge stealth to back fires on down shifting and misfire on rapid acceleration?
sound like your timing jumped get it checked
What is 8 degrees before top dead center when timing a 92 Chevy caprice?
TDC, top dead center is when the number 1 piston is at the top of the cylinder. 8 degrees before TDC is where you set the distributor so that is when the spark plug fires. You use a timing light to set the distributor. There is a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and a series of marks on the timing chain cover that will show where 8 degrees before is at. The timing mark on the pulley is a small notch in the edge of the pulley closest to the timing cover.
Why need car distributor?
It fires the plugs in the cylinders to ignite the mixture.
Where is the distributor cap in 1998 Chevy Lumina?
There is no distributor cap as there is no distributor. There are 3 coil packs, each coil fires 2 spark plugs simultaneously.
How do you set the timing on a 2001 1500 Dodge pickup with a 5.2 engine... Removed the distributor and now cant get it to time with a timing light?
You need to reposition the No. 1 piston to TDC (top dead center). You can do this by removing the spark plug from the No.1 piston and feel for compression as the crankshaft is turned. Or, you can rotate the crankshaft by hand with a large breaker bar and socket and align the the crankshaft vibration damper scribe mark to the TDC mark on the timing chain cover, while the distributor rotor points to the distributor cap terminal that fires the number 1 cylinder.
What makes a1994 f150 ford backfires?
Back fires are normally caused due to your timing being off, which would only occur if you were playing around with your distributor (because it is electric and doesn't just go out of sinc) or fuel mixture is too rich and it back fires as you try to turn off the vehicle.
83 Chevy van 30 miss fires on takeoff and at speed timing was set them very hard to start reset them pinging started still missfired at speed?
seems that the timing is still incorrect. the distributor may be worn and causing this.problem may also be the points, a crack in the distributer cap,
Do 1.9 liter saturns have a distributor drive port?
No. The Saturn engine does not have a distributor, instead the engineers devised a "coil pack" system for the ignition. The ignition system is completely under the control of the computer; two separate coils fire to provide the spark. Each coil operates two cylinders, and each spark plug fires every time a piston comes to the top dead center position, meaning that the plug fires when the piston is at the top of the compression cycle and at the top of the exhaust cycle. No distributor, no timing to set.
