Do I have the arrow on the #1 spark plug wire? This is a distributor for a 2.0l stock FI engine.

So Ill chime in here as yesterday was a glorious spring day here in the PNW and I was determined to get the LE fired up for the fist time in more than a decade (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I was pretty sure I had the same issue, where the the car wouldn't start but would back fire, .. figuring the timing was off or dizzy 180 out. So I tore the whole thing down .... Confirmed TDC on one, re-marked my impeller, pulled the distributor and visually inspected the orientation of the eccentric drive gear which appeared to correctly aligned (although its hard to tell 12 degrees while in the car). Put it all back together and started progressively incrementing the the dizzy rotation advance & retard tying to get it to start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Nope ..popping but no start. Whats got me scratching my head is the closest it came to starting the Dizzy is rotated as far as it could toward the tail (is that retard) & seems like it need to go further (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I dont recall pulling the distributor drive gear but I guess its possible. Do I need to do this all again and R & R the Drive gear? |
