Timing and Firing Orders
Firing order refers to the order of power delivery of the cylinders in an engine. Timing and firing orders both contribute to the engine’s fuel economy, power, and longevity. Achieving the proper timing is critical in the engine’s performance.

Heh... sounds like another victim of the VATS antitheft system. Try to crank it and look at your instrument panel. See if the security light comes on. That would be the antitheft system. Those cars are pretty bad for the connections in the ignition cylinder wearing out after a lot of use. Basically the resistor value in the key (you can't miss the chip) has to match up with the value required by the system to start the car. Sometimes the contacts in the ignition cylinder become worn out and an incorrect reading of the resistance is sent. Incorrect resistance = no crank. Also, one of the wires that connect to the ignition cylinder could be broken off and you wouldn't know it. Check them out. Some people measure the resistance of the chip in their key and buy a resistor from radio shack and wire it in on the circuit side of the connector.
check the engine coil first its only a 20 dollar part if still no spark 9 out of ten times its the distributor ive replaced mine twice make sure u have the engine at TDC and not the compression stroke before removing the distributor
You may also want to check the ignition control module. It is located under the distributor cap and the base of the distributor. There are two plugs to disconnect and two small screws that hold it to the base. It is a cheap part, and much cheaper than tearing through the VATS stuff. Replace the module and pray like heck it works.

The " standard " is ( 1 - 5 - 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 7 - 8 )

What are the timing specs for a 1990 Toyota Corolla 1.6 straight stick 2 wheel drive?
I believe you'll find it on the emission label that is under the hood - should either be attached on underside of hood, or on radiator support, or somewhere readily visible when you open the hood (EPA requires the readily visible part). You'll also find spark plug gap information there.
10 degrees before top dead center. But this assumes certain conditions. For a 4AFE engine, idle speed is set o 700 rpm. For a 4AGE engine, idle speed is set to 800 rpm. (Set the speed when the engine is warmed up but the radiator fan is not running. Look for pictures of these engines on ebay.com if you aren't sure which engine you have. Both are 1.6 ) This timing also assumes you have connected a wire between two terminals (tabs) of the "check connector". This connector is a black plastic box in the vicinity of the battery, smaller than the fusebox. On the inside of its lid the names of the various terminals in the box is given. The "T1" and "E1" terminals should be connected while you are timing. This will cause the "check engine" light to come on. Don't be alarmed if you find white gunk in this box. It is probably just "tune up grease" or dielelctric grease. I think its best not to leave big gobs of it in the box. "Wipe off the excess", as the saying goes.
I use a paper clip bent into a "U" shape to jumper or connect the T1 and E1 terminals together mentioned in the answer above. When the T1 and E1 terminals are jumpered it stops the ECU from adjusting the timing so you can set the timing to what is called "base timing". Don't worry about getting electrocuted or shocked by the paper clip.

Where is number one cylinder for a dodge 383?
The Dodge 383 is not a stroker like a Chevy small block engine. The 383 was a factory offering from Chrysler, and is one of the "B" series engines. It is very similar to the other Chrysler big blocks like the 413, 426, 400 and 440.
Which is faster Chevy 383 or Chevy 400 small block?
It depends on the transmission and any modifications to the engine.

What is the firing order for a 1971 Chevrolet Nova 350?

Where on the timing mark is TDC?
TDC is 0( sometimes just a large line). A 4 cycle engine hits TDC or '0' once every 2 revolutions; So as the engine revolves, ( one revolution )it is at bottom dead center (BDC) then comes around to TDC to start the process over again. I hope this helps you. Mark
Answerthe "0" mark on the timing tab coincides with cylinder #1,the cylinder that is farthest torward the front of the engine.On a Chevy 350 this is on the drivers side.To varify if it is at top dead center or bottom dead center you need to remove #1 spark plug and determine weather the piston is at the top or bottom of the cylinder.One way to do this is to hold your finger over the open spark plug hole while someone turns the engine over slowly and feel for the blast of air to come out as the piston reaches tdc.If you have a distributor you can also determine where #1 plug wire needs to be by removing the distributor cap to see where the contact point of the rotor is pointing when at top dead center.this is #1 in the firing order.(18436572). AmswerLooking at my 350, the number 1 cylinder is on the passenger side front. The original Chevy intake manifold has the firing order cast in front of the carb, and the cylinder numbers cast into the top of the intake channel next to the head.Spark plug diagram for 2004 Chrysler Concorde 3.5 V6?
If you are standing in front of the car, your number 1 spark plug is the first plug on the left in the front of the car. Number 2 is the first plug on the right. 3rd plug is the second one on the left and so on.

What is the meaning of firing on all cylinders?
Have you ever met some one that you thought to yourself wow they are missing something! Well that could be that their brain is "not firing on all cylinders" (like a car that is missing or sound bad) or a "few bricks shy of a load" or "3 fries short of a happy meal" I am sure their are others
check firing all four are firing but front two keeps getting gas fouled then start to skip
