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.

How do you set the timing on a 1987 Chevy 305 vortex in a ck?
get # 1 piston to tdc, # 1 is drivers side in very front, then remove distributer cap, and make sure rotor button is facing or pointing at the # 1 piston, if it is'nt lift out distributer rotate and reset it down so that it will point at piston # 1, repalce cap, the prong on the cap that faces the #1 piston will be youre # 1 on the cap then follow your firing order, 1-3-5-7 on the drivers side 2-4-6-8 on the passenger side. "FRONT TO REAR" on both sides, your caps firing order will be inbeded on the front of the intake, this method will get you operationaly very very close and will be able to run her, but if you want performance then put a timing light on her and set at 12 degrees past tdc "the very last mark or line on your timing plate on towords the left on the harmonic balancer wheels plate, now your haulin...........
Correction: After you get it on TDC of compression stroke for cylinder #1, Drop the distributor in with the rotor facing cylinder #1. Wire up the plug wires. Disconnect the ETC wire (tan/black wire to the right of the distributor coming out of the big wire loom). Hook up a timing light. Base timing is supposed to be 0°, but advance it 6-8° and see if it runs better. Some people go 12°. Also, the Vortec came out in the trucks in 1996. If you have the stock motor still it is not a Vortec. It is a center bolt valve cover motor with TBI.
How do you fix crossed plug wires from distributer cap to the spark plugs?
for this task you will need either a compression tester or a "bullet".(go for the tester)also you'll need your firing order. *bring the number one piston to top dead center on a compression stroke.(use the tester for this) *remove the distributor cap and look at which way the rotor is pointing because that will be your number one spot.(also note the rotors rotation pattern either clockwise or counter clockwise) *put the distributor cap back on remembering which way the rotor was pointing.that particular point on the cap will be where you place the number one sparkplug wire. *connect that number one wire to the number one cilynder *now simply follow the pattern and re-attached the wires following the firing order and rotation of the rotor. *(after attaching the number one wire attached the next corresepondend wire next to the number one spot going in the direction that the rotor is turning.) is easier to do than to explain.you'll see.

This is a HUGE online repair manual. I was very impressed, overlooking some translation errors.
Simplest is that when you top up your oil you miss the filler hole a bit and the oil runs down to the lowest point.
Nastiest is if you have a crack in the head gasket and oil is being forced up the piston bores and through the crack.
If you take the plug out is it all fouled up with burned crud? Make sure the plugs are in to the recommended tightness...I have known oil seep into the combustion chamber then up the plug threads.
It can also be a worn valve cover gasket causing oil seep. On the KA24 engine there are 2 gaskets: around the outer rim of the valve cover and around the 4 spark plug holes.

How do you set the timing on a 1997 Chevy 5.7L engine?
you cant set "timing" you have to have a scanner to set cam sensor to 0 +or-2
Which spark plug wire goes to which plug for 1985 trans am?
The firing order of a small block Chevy is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. If you are standing in front of the car looking at the engine the driver side is 1-3-5-7 and the passenger side is 2-4-6-8. The distributor turns in a clockwise position. You'll need to find where the #1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. Lift off the distributor cap....the rotor will be in position to fire #1. This is your starting point.
Nissan 200sx key will not start the car?
your key wont start your 200sx there are 2 common reasons for that first use your key to lock and unlock your drivers door. Just in case the stock alarm was some how triggered this will deactivate it. Then try to start it if still not working you should take the key to the local hardware store and have a duplicate key made that should fix your problems.

How do you know if number one piston is at TDC?
Use your finger over the no. 1 spark plug hole & turn engine over until you feel air or it blows your finger out of hole then look at your timing marks on crankshaft pulley it should be coming up on top dead center just set the mark on your pulley on - 0- this is top dead center on compression stroke.
How do you remove and install the timing belt of a 1995 Plymouth Voyager 3 liter engine?
The question you ask is too involved for a proper answer. You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
What are the timing specs for a 1993 Isuzu trooper?
Here is the step by step procedure for a 3.2l v6
This is not an interference type engine, thank goodness.
here is the process for timing:
It sounds like you moved a cam shaft independently of the crankshaft or so you will need to do all these procedures:
1. Turn the crankshaft until the notch on the spocket is lined up with the mark on the oil pump housing (the mark is on the driver's side at 90 degrees to the sprocket itself).
2. Back off the crankshaft counterclockwise 1/8 turn to ensure the pistons aren't at top dead center. This gives the valves room to move without too much compression resistance.
3. Turn the passenger's side camshaft until it "jumps" into place with the alignment mark on the camshaft pully being lined up with the mark on the engine head. You may have to turn the camshaft 9 turns. But when it lines up it will be obvious.
4. Turn the driver's side camshaft clockwise until it "jumps" into place but is 90 degrees before(at the 9 O'Clock when you consider the timing mark is at the 12 O'clock position) the timing mark being lined up. Then gently move the camshaft until the marks line up.
5. The idler pulleys and tensioner pulleys should be installed on the engine but the tenioner pulley adjuster (it is a little cylinder with a rod coming out of it that is held in place by 2 bolts) should be removed.
6. Line up the crankshaft notch with the mark that is at 3 O'clock. Place the new belt on the camshafts first, lining up the belt timing line with the marks on the pully and head. Place a clamp on the belt over the cam sprocket to keep them from moving. Be sure the arrows on the belt point in a clockwise direction. Now you can wind the belt around the pullys and align the line on the belt with the timing mark on the crankshaft at the 270 degree point (opposite of the notch and factory mark at 3 O'clock). There should be a factory blue dot on the crankshaft where the belt dots should line up. Do not worry about lining up the crankshaft marks at the 3 o'clock position as they will be a notch off if the blue lines are lined up on the opposite side.
7. Insure that you have looped the belt around the tensioner pulley, around the passenger's side cam, under the water pump, around the driver's side cam, and finally around the idler pulley. Check all alignments.
8. Put the tesioner adjuster in a vise and squeeze it together until you can place a small drill bit or Allen wrench through the holes to keep it compressed.
9. If all lines are aligned and the play is removed from the driver's side then this step should be easy. Hold the tensioner pully against the belt and install the tensioner adjuster. Then pull the dril bit or Allen wrench to release the adjuster. Sometimes this step can be a bit tricky and you may need some moving of the belt to allow enough play to get the adjuster in place. This may move the passenger's side alignment. If so, you will need to try it again. I find that if you move passenger's side alignment mark clockwise by one tooth of the sprocket, then when you go to put the tensioner in place it lines up. You may find other tricks to overcome this challenge. Remove the drill bit or Allen wrench.
10. Once you think you have everything lined up. Use a wrench to turn the crankshaft sprocket 2 full turns. Listen closely and feel for any hard resistance as you do this to determine if the pistons are hitting the valves. If you believe they are hitting each other then repeat the adjustment procedure. Although this isn't supposed to be an interference engine, it is always a good idea to do this step just as a matter of habit.
11. If everything seems OK you can try turning the engine over with the ignition. If it doesn't start, don't keep trying. Assume you need to perform the steps again and realign everything.
