ok...here goes....

I ended up with a check engine light...code 9. Everything I read and searched for pointed to the Distributor. Luckily, my mother works for Carquest auto parts and I got a remanufactured one for $100 .

So, that brings us to today. I mark my old distributor, and begin removing it. I put the new dist. in, new cap, new rotor. I start her up and she runs fine (err so it sounds) I give it some gas and it slowly creeps up on the rpm's. I then, bust out the timing light, and see that the timing is way off. Here is what I see (please excuse the poor excuse for a pic )



That is all I can see. Also, that is with the distributor turned all the way to one side. In that position, it runs smooth, but there is NO power. I test drove it, and it feels like theres about 25 horsepower.... If I turn it the other direction, the marks only get farther away and it acts like it wants to die.

Someone please help me!!

 

anyone?

 

Crapola....

 

Looks like your belt is off a tooth, make sure the crank is at TDC as well as the cam, time to have fun with the tensioner.

 

make sure your on the intake stroke as well.....makes A BIG DIFFERENCE.

 

That is the same problem that I am having on a 91 teg. Remanufatured dizzy and no matter how I adjust the dizzy timing is still extremely retarded. I am thinking that it is the dizzy because I checked the timing and it seems fine.

 

did you short the service connector and bring the motor to operating temps?

 

Yes, I did. I followed every precation also. I'm fed up.....time fer da swap.....
