Hello,

I had the engine belt replaced and now cant reach the red timing mark that tunes the ignition. On this engine the timing marks are on the alternator pulley. The red mark which is in the middle of these 3 side-by-side marks reaches almost the fixed mark, but 2...3 mm before correct position reaches the distributor fully retarded position. In fully advanced position the marks move forward 4..5 cm toward the master cylinder. Could the camshaft be 1 teeth misaligned, or is it sth else?

i would say its a safe guess that the timing belt is off a tooth or two

 

I would tend to agree. Need a bit more info though

How does it run? I would assume its not running very well so you attempted to see if ignition timing was not set properly by whomever did the belt?

 

Are you sure you have the pickup on the correct wire?

 

How to check the ignition timing

 

I know there's an F20B, that came in the Euro Accords, but i've never heard of an F20A. What did that come in?
