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.

While setting timing the timing mark jumps back and forth whats wrong?
If you hooked the timing light up properly, it should only show the timing marks when the #1 cyclinder fires. Considering how easy it is to hook up a timing light,I feel it safe to assume that the problem is elsewhere. The only other reason for a jumping timing mark would be that there is a speed mismatch between the distributor (and the firing of the #1 plug) and the crankshaft, where the timing marks generally are. I can think of 2 possible causes. - Is the distributor being driven at the correct speed and ratio? It should be running at half the speed of the engine; 2 revolutions of the crankshaft equals 1 revolution of the distributor rotor. However either replacing the distibutor with the wrong one or (more likely) stripped gears will screw this up. - Is the rotor actually spinning at the same speed as the distributor shaft? Though most distributor rotors are keyed to the shaft, this isn't always true. My Honda stalled on the road a few times after the set-screw fell out. Friction would drive the rotor at a rapidly decreasing and increasingly mismatched speed, so the engine would run oddly for a few seconds before dying. A timing light would've made for an interesting show whenever that happened. Rolfo adds: If your distributor has a vacuum line going to it and there is a leak somewhere, like a little hole in the diaphram of the vacuum advance, or in one of the vacuum lines, that would do it. Also I have seen a sloppy fitting distributor cap vibrate back and forth causing a similar symptom.

Where should the cam position be when setting timing marks on a 1998 Hyundai Accent 1.5L sohc?
Hi, Simply align the hole (in the camshaft sprocket) with the groove on the #1 cam bearing. The hole will be approx. at 12 o'clock.

Is there a diagram of cylinder firing order?
Yes, and if you had listed the make, model, year, and engine size I could provide one. But you listed none of this information so my hands are tied.
What is the distributor rotation on a Chevy Malibu?
Unless it has a BOP (Buick/Olds/Pontiac) motor such as a 307, rotation will be clockwise.
Where can you find a diagram for the spark plug wires on my 87 5.0 tbird?
Try Autozone.com It has a repair section that will have firing orders for this vehicle. Good luck.
Impala cylinder firing order 3.4?
The firing order for a 3.4 Impala engine is 1-2-3-4-5-6. The number one cylinder is the rear cylinder on the passenger side.
What is the timing degrees on a 351 modified 10 degrees before or after top dead center?
Before, and it really depends on what you are calling "modified" if you put a "hotter" cam in, sometimes the stock timing won't do it justice. You have to play with the timing and see what works best. Usually, advancing it 1 or 2 degrees gives the best result.
How do you find Top Dead Center on the compression stroke for the 1 piston on a motorcycle?
If you don't have a timing mark or cannot find it you need to do this. Find out which cylinder is the #1 cylinder and pull the spark plug out of it. To make it easier to turn the motor over it is best to pull out all to the plugs so you aren't fighting the compression of the other cylinders. Next put a wrench onto the crankshaft pulley on the front of the motor. There should be a bolt there that holds it on. If not, you can turn it by hand. A second set of hands is always good also. Next once you have the plugs out, put you finger or thumb over the hole of the #1 cylinder's plug hole. Then turn or have a friend turn the motor until you feel pressure against your finger. Once you have this figured out you can take a straw or something that won't break and put it down into the cylinder. Going slowly, turn the engine until it looks to be all of the way out, (the straw). This is a good way of getting the timing close. Just remember that this is for ignition timing only. If you have a newer motor that has a 0 tolerance on the valve timing and you just "get it close" you will be smacking pistons into the valves. This however is an easy way to check and see where your distributor and #1 one cylinders are at.
