Did you mark where the dizzy was? What I mean, is take a scribe or something to make a line from part to part... then line it back up when putting it back on.

Dizzy can mess up timing and if not back in the exact same spot that could be your culprit.

Sounds like you need to time the car again.

Yeah i forgot to market before i took it out

Is there anyone from Chicago that wants to give me a hand to adjust my ignition timing. I will pay labor plus 20$ for gas.

Chicago_Type_R

or you guys suggest to take to a dealer so they can fix it? How much u think they charge?

EARLdaSQUIRREL

you just need to find someone with a timing gun and 5 minutes of their time

Chicago_Type_R

well i found a timing light already. but how many degrees should i set the timing light too??

Chicago_Type_R

Ok I try to adjust my timing try to put it to 16BTC.

I move the dizzy but it does not even reach 14BTC it stay in the middle of 0BTC and 14BTC. I dont even know what to do now??

You have a helms manual? Thats the only tip for you I have besides to never not mark it again. I don't know how to time either, so sorry for the not so much help.

Chicago_Type_R

I talk to one of my friends and they told me that orinal specs will not do me any good because my motor is fully built..Im not sure if they are telling the truth. ??? Does it really matters?

When you set the timing you need to short out a clip so the ecu doesn't compensate and move the timming back.

Here follow these steps:

Seems you have more problems than just ignition timing. Take the car to a tuner and let them take care of it. Have them fix the timing belt, vacuum leak, and timing. I'd tow it. Honda B-series motors dont take well to t-belt failures.

Did you ever fix the t-belt? When the belt jusmps teeth, it could cause internal damage.

Dave_B

Or could be a problem with the belt in the first place. How old is the belt?

Chicago_Type_R

Not very old my car only has 30 k..

So you built your motor and used the old timeing belt?

Chicago_Type_R

I cant remember how many miles it has but it was replaced .. We found the Vacuum leak it was coming from intake manifold gasket and throttle gasket.. He notice it was Leaking exhaust from the flange connected from the test pipe
