ok so i put a new head gasket on my sohc zc and at first i couldnt get the timing belt tight but then figured out it was the spring on the tensioner..so i finallye lined the cam gear to tdc and the lower pully also but wen i started it it has so much hesitation and then it backfires like it will take forever to get to like 4,000 rpm and then it starts to backfire like crazy so i was just wondering if anybody knew wat was wrong with it...backfire means non ignited gas right so isnt that off timing...but they are both on tdc...so ne bodys help will be appreciated

n e body know wats up wit my car

 

take off your dizzy cap and see if teh screw for teh rotor has backed itself off...happened to me the EXACT same way before...sohc zc and everything...but i had my original stock dizzy

 

by backed off you mean came off right in not wat do you mean by that

 

the screw that holds the rotor in place backed out and was not holding it anymore. yopu get spark just not at the right time adn get backfires...its happened to a lot of us on here.

 

well i took the cap off and it was still on there tight so i dont think that is it..so does n e body else have n e more ideas
