The Haynes manual claims it's 10 degrees BTDC. Also, the really correct timing should be listed on the emissions sticker inside of the hood. 10 degrees BTDC matches what my 1991 Manual Trans Storm's hood says (and seems to run well at).
The timing scale is on the timing belt cover down by the crankshaft pulley (at the other end of the Power Steering pump belt). There is a small notch in the crankshaft pulley, on the side closest to the timing scale, that is easier to see if you put some whiteout fluid in the notch.
Before setting the timing, let the engine warm to operating temperature, and short pins 1 and 3 of the ALDL connector (located above and to the right of your passenger's feet) with a paperclip to prevent the ECM from advancing the timing while you are setting it. Don't forget to remove the paperclip when you're done!
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.
The timing marks for a 1991 Geo Storm GSI DOHC are typically located on the crankshaft pulley and the timing belt cover. The marks should align when the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. It is important to consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions on locating and aligning the timing marks correctly.
top died senter the markes should mach up
The 1996 Geo Tracker 1.6 liter engine timing marks can be found on the outside of the main pulley. The timing marks will be scattered around the pulley.
Answer: The ignition timing on a 1990 Geo Storm is 10 degrees BTDC. This applies to both the SOHC and DOHC 1.6L engines.
Yes.
To set the timing marks on a 1993 Geo Tracker, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Next, align the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley with the zero mark on the timing cover. Then, check the camshaft timing mark, which should be aligned with the corresponding mark on the cylinder head or timing cover. If necessary, adjust the timing belt to ensure all marks are correctly aligned before reassembling the components.
Check that you got the timing marks right. If you recheck the timing belt work & it's o/k then start with the basics, Is the fuel pump running when you turn thekey? whats the fuel pressure? Is fuel getting to engine? do you have spark?
i need help
how do you set timing on a 92 geo prizm if timing belt has broken
Timing Belt.... Check all your belts.
You can't. They have a distributor pack, and not a cap and rotor. a 1.6 eng 93 geo storm has a distributor cap and rotor!!!
