i just went out to check my timing and i couldn't see any timing marks. it's dark out too. the weird thing is that a few weeks ago when i put in a new distributor the timing marks were visible. any ideas?

 

r u try n to check the timing with a timing light? the lines should show up on the crank pully. maybe the pulley is dirty and its covering up the lines. turn the motor to TDC and take a cloth and clean the crank pulley, then put the timing light on it.

u r using a stock crank pulley right?

yeah i have a timing light i am using. it's weird that i could see the marks a few weeks earlier..i'm sorry but what's TDC? it might be dirty cause i took a road trip the other day. and yes i am on a stock crank pulley

 

if you're looking at from the front of the car on the valve cover it goes:

4|3|2|1

and dizzy from passenger side

14
23

??

 

dizzy from passenger side:

34
12

TDC is when u rotate the crank so that piston number 1 is at the top of the cylinder. when its at the top of the cylinder, the single white line on the pulley will line up with the pointer on the timing belt cover

 

how would i rotate the crank..doesn't sound safe lol

 

a 19mm socket an extension and a 1/2" drive ratchet...go in through the driver's side wheel well

 

oh..to actually turn the pulley?

btw..is that the same on all integra dizzy?

 

well..it was running SO retard that i couldn't see the marks..wow...what could cause this? the dizzy bolts were tight

 

you need to specify which part is running retarded. Is the cam/crank timing off, or is the dizzy timing off?

 

i'm not sure...i was turning the dizzy to fix the timing on the pulley. it might of been the crank tho cause it was throwing a crank sensor error a few days ago...maybe this fixed it cause it's not throwing a code anymore

 

yes
