95 integra ls cam timing
i have a 95 ls in a 93 hatchback i think the cam timing is off because at 5500 to 6000 the motor bogs out i have gone down the list of checkin the ecu, ignition timing, clogged injectors, fuel rail pressure, and the tach being off ( this being stupid cause you know your hitting redline regardless wut a tach says) an d the last conclusion is the timing is off on the cams, it idles fine just when i'm on it it wont go any farther then 5500 to 6000 an feels likes its choking? was wondering if anyone had the stock specs on the ls cam timing so i can check an reset mine if needed?

Re: 95 integra ls cam timing (pchris52)
Here's how to check the cam timing...
Remove the upper timing cover so you can see the sprockets. Rotate the engine forward (counterclockwise) by turning the CRANKshaft pulley. If you take the spark plugs out you can probably turn it by hand.
There's arrows on the camshaft pulleys. When they're pointing sorta upwards, watch the crankshaft timing marks. There's a set of three notches together, then to the right there's a single notch. Line up the lone single notch to the pointer molded into the lower timing cover.
The arrows on the camshaft sprockets are only approximate. The REAL timing marks are like little dimples out at the sprocket teeth. There's 2 on each sprocket, and they should all 4 line up straight across. You can lay a strait-edge across the centers of the camshafts & across all 4 of those little dimples.
With tolerances & belt stretch, they're not usually PERFECT. As long as the marks are on the tooth thats closest to being lined up.

F*&^K!
it still wont RED LINE!
ok here is the chck list of wuts been checked an rechecked:
ignition timing
cam timing
fuel rail
injectors
fuel pump
ecu
and distributar
its a b18a1 set up for obd1
running on a 94 ls p75 computer anyone know wut might be goin on with this motor?

Re: 95 integra ls cam timing (pchris52)
Distributor rotor? Kinda strange, but as the rpms get high, the spark is more advanced. This moves the arc over towards one end of the rotor's tip. Look for deterioration over towards the leading edge of the rotor tip. (I'm really searching for possibilities.) It seems like you've checked everything...
How about the fuel pump? You say you've checked it, but do you mean actual flow rate & pressure? Or just checked that it's running?
