b18a1 running rough. please help!
Hi, I started this motor when it was in the 140k 93 LS SE donor car. Ran great. It set for 7 months or so after that.
I just got it all swaped over to my 93 ex coupe.
When I start it, it only sounds like it hits on two cylinders. If you rev it it revs still on only 2 cylinders then pops spits and backfires.
I changed the timing belt on it, when I was removing the belt the intake cam wasnt lined up with the markings. So when I installed the new timing belt I lined every thing up changing the intake side a tooth towards the exhaust. Should I try moving the belt up a tooth on the intake side? Will I bend the valves?
The check engine light comes on about 5 sec after started. I remember how to check that. I used to on my d16.
I checked the plugs, they were black, I cleaned the up with some sandpaper along with the cap and rotor.
Please help Im so so close to driving this thing again.
