YES IT IS + OR - 1 TO 2 DEGREES BEFORE TDC...
Timing and idle setting maybe computer controlled and not adjustable. If they are adjustable should be 825-850 RPM
According to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) Yes , the 1.3 liter four cylinder engine in a 1990 Ford Festiva has a timing BELT
To change the timing belt on a 1990 Ford Festiva, first, disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the timing belt cover. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure correct positioning, then remove the old belt along with the tensioner. Install the new timing belt, ensuring proper tension and alignment with the timing marks, and reassemble the components in reverse order. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to verify that everything is functioning correctly.
just the top one that is the vacum advance, timing should be 2 degrees BTDC with vacum advance line removed and blocke
ford festiva stopped while driving it has fuel and power it just wont turn over
10 degrees.
You need a timing light to set the correct timing. Once the truck has been set at base timing at 0-2 degrees by disconnecting the timing wire and setting the dist., the computer adjusts the timing by itself to the proper setting.. There is not an adjustment for the the idle speed on this truck.
60 thousand miles and it is not easy, and when you replace make sure you have all the timing absolutely correct, Declan.
there is no timing on a water pump pump is belt driven and just turns when motor is running
Unless you have had the timing belt off or it has broken the timing should still be correct. The way you set the timing is by taking the timing belt off and lining up the timing marks and put the belt back on. I added a link to a text how-to for setting the timing on the Zetec engine. -ZX2Fast
The correct setting on the timing for a 351 Interceptor Marine is not listed. It might be best to either purchase and downland a copy of the 351 Interceptor Marine manual online or purchase the manual from a boat dealer.
Correct timing is what ever the manufacture recommends.
