How do you set the timing on a 1999 Kia Sportage?
P!S! when checking the timing on a kia sportage you should know that the sheer pin on the crankshaft pulley tends to go allowing the pulley to move so it 'looks' like its in time meaning the marks all line up and you can't tell without pulling off the lower(crankshaft) pulley, it is always a good idea to locate #1 spark plug take it out and drop a longgg screwdriver as you manually turn the timing belt whilst looking for the marks as that cylinder should be up as far as it can go with all the marks lined up for it to be in time if it starts going back down or doesn't quite get as far up as it should go with the marks lined up.. then its not in time and should definatley take off the crankshaft pulley to take a look at that sheer pin and the damamge it did...

Hope this helps a little more than "There's no spark plugs, so no firing order".
Why is your distributor not firing on your amc 304?
Check your coil with an inline spark tester. If no spark to the distributor check for power to the coil. If power to the coil but no spark then coil is bad. If coil is sparking the problem is in the distributor. If no power to the coil trace back the wiring to the power source (battery voltage) Check the points to make sure they're gaped properly & not burned or corroded. Check cap & rotor while you're in there also. while the cap is off turn it over and check to see if the rotor (shaft) is turning.
Can an engine be timed without a timing light?
Yes, but the procedure requires many steps to position the valve train (#1 Cyl. to combustion) and positioning the distributor CAM to fire on #1 firing order. See dealer's service manual for setting timing.
How do you set the timing on a 98 escort zx2 dohc?
for the people trying to set the engine timing on the 2.0 ZETEC engine, note that there are no readily visible no timing marks used to set timing. Ford did include some notches on the lower crank pulley, but they are hard to see and harder to use accurately when setting the timing. Instead, it is easier to bring number one cylinder to top dead center by use of a crankshaft locking tool or other method. Remove the valve cover and the timing belt cover. You will need a straight flat bar to lock cams in place. The cams have slots on the ends of them opposite the cam pulleys. The flat bar will slip between the slots and hold them in place.
previous Answerfor the people trying to set 2.0 eng timing first of all no timing marks to set timing you bring no.one cly to top dead center r&r valve cover you need a straight flat bar to lock cams in line across back of cams second you need to lock crank shaft by installing a plug to lock crank plug hole is below exhaust manifold in rear of engineyou now are in time

Hate to answer a Q with a Q but WHOSE timing? Valve, cam, ignition? Need to be more specific. If I ASSUME ignition timing then it still requires more info as the type e.g. breaker points or electronic? Clarify the Q and answers can be rendered.
How do you check a firing order?
Hi, ALL 4 cylinder vehicles use 1-3-4-2 as the firing order. Number 1 cyl. being the one closest the front or belt end of the engine. If the vehicle has a distibutor you need to take the cap off and bump the starter to see if it turns counter or clockwise. If it has a coil pack you can go to a parts store and sneek a peek in the proper repair manual. If the index does not reference 'firing order' look in 'tune up' or 'engine electrical' it will be there. Good luck.
