I am curious if it is even possible to get a car to start and run if lets say the belt on the intake cam is off by one tooth. Plus or minus one.
I can say that I have never heard anyone comment on this.

Yes, it will run with the cam gear or gears off a tooth.

 

lol it will sound like a lawn mower too

 

hope you dont have big cams

 

ITR Intake and exhaust cams. I was just having some difficulty getting the car to idle correctly. I am going to change back to a TB that I know works fine.

 

Why dont you just fix the issue?

 

I am still in the process of trouble shooting the problem. I didn't know enough about a misset cam gear to confirm if it was part of the problem. Since I was able to get the car to basically idle I an fairly confident that it is not the cams.

 

check the timing order on the distributer.... two of the wires can be reversed..... it would idle rough

 

just set the engine to TDC and check it
