I have two F8 1.8L Mazda motors (1985 and 1990). Timing settings are the same for both. Warm-up the motor and turn all accessories (and lights) 'off'; then adjust idle-speed to 800RPM (manual) or 850RPM (auto) using the throttle adjusting screw; then adjust timing to 6 +/- 1 degrees BTDC. (This info was taken straight from the vehicle). - Hope this helps. If this doesn't work, remove and clean distributor very thoroughly. They have a habit of getting very dirty inside if the seals are bodgy. Make absolutely sure that the distributor is put back EXACTLY in the same position as it was removed from - this is critical. If you need more info on this, then contact me via my email.

How do you set timing Mazda van e2000 1990 model fe motor?

To set the timing on a 1990 Mazda E2000 van with an FE motor, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Then, locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover; align them according to the manufacturer's specifications. Adjust the distributor position if needed, ensuring the rotor points to the correct ignition wire. Finally, double-check the timing with a timing light to confirm proper settings.

No. it is a non-interference motor. If the timing belt breaks, the engine will not be damaged. It will just stop running until it the belt is replaced.


Is a 1.6l Mazda miata motor an interference fit motor?

No, Mazda recommends replacing the timing belt at about 65K in all states except Ca. where it is 105K. There is no difference in parts just a difference in State laws (CA requires 100K+ on timing belts) and since it is not an interference engine Mazda just stretched the service interval. No damage if it breaks at 75K...you'll just be stranded
