I had someone come over to do the timing on my car. When you advance the distributor a 1/8 then the car starts to idle fine, when you put it bcak the car just keeps stalling. I didn't have the cover on my engine but i recently bought the top, the middle and the bottom cover for my d16. He said i needed the lower cover to do the timing?? I do not see any marks on the lower timing belt cover?

Can someone show me a picture?

Thanks

 

That should do it:

 

sorry mines a single cam d16z6 need more help please?

 

That is for a D16Y8, and the D16Z6 is the same spot, the timing should be 16 degrees +/- 2, since that damn bubble covered it up.

Make sure to jump the SCS connector before you set your timing, engine has to be fully warm as well.

 

i dont see a mark on my cover though?

 

They should be there, they look like iron sights, a V and then a ^ right below that mark. Reference the pic to find it.

 

I know where the marks are on the crank pulley but i do not see a V on my cover.

 

Look near the tensioner bolt hole, there is a V on the top of it, and a ^ just opposite of it.
