i went to adjust the timing on my car its a d15b7 but its dpfi. i cant get the marks on the pulley to line up with the pointer on the cover. the timing belt gears are lined up perfectly with the marks. am i doing something wrong?

 

were you trying to just check the timing? or adjust it with a timing light?

 

adjust it with a timing light.

 

bump

 

what distributor are you using??? the stock one while bolting up fine might not have enough adjustment in it to get the correct timing.

 

ya thats the only thing i could think of too. but i dont know cause you can put a si dizzy on a d15b2 for mpfi and it works. its a dpfi obd0 dizzy on there. i guess i should just stop being lazy and convert it to mpfi i allready got all the stuff just gota convert my harness and get a gasket. thanks.

 

you do have the service connector jumped while trying to set the timing right???

 

no wheres the service conector? ive heard of that but never done it in the past i cant remember how many motors ive set the timing on.

 

the service connector is the plug you jump to check for codes. its on the passenger kick panel.

 

its an ef though you check the codes by the little blinking led on the ecu. or is there a service contector there too like on the eg's?? honestly i probably wont even mess with it till i do mpfi. thanks though.

 

you still have a SCS in the same spot as all other civics. the ecu will change the timing to compensate for all kinds of things, so you have to jump the connector to keep base timing. if you have been setting timing without doing this you have been very lucky.

 

ya thats crazy ive never jumped that plug even had cars pass smog like that. now i know.
