I just had my cam timing adjusted cuz it was off pretty bad. Now I have a couple questions. One, does the firing oreder change if your timing is off? Because when I adjusted te timing and put the plugs the way I had them, 1,4,2,3, it wouldnt start. But this question goes off into another one, when you have the firing order wrong sumtimes doesnt it start but it just runs kinda laggy? Also how would I know if I bent some valves? Compression test? Because rite now my firing order I think is wrong but it runs really really laggy. Yes I have searched, and the firing order I read was, 1,3,4,2.

 

fix your firing order first. you cant tell anything else if thats wrong

Yes. A leakdown test can pinpoint problems as well.

If you put the plugs in the wrong place on the distributor, sometimes it will run, but be very unhappy. 1342 is the correct firing order.

 

Well I got my timing back the right way, now its kinda laggy, but it works, but im not sure if not having a hood and no intake would do anything.
