okay guys.. well i pulled off my dizzy and i wasn't expecting it to throw off my timing.. anyone know which way the rotor is pointing when tdc? also.. i just bought a cluster with an rpm gauge for my cvcc and i dont know where the cable runs to.. does anyone have a cvcc manual and help me out? HELP!!!

 

can't you just follow the number 1 plug wire to that point on the cap and put it there....fine tune it later?

 

anyone else?

 

Might be some help here

Hey ***, there is no forum for old Civics.

Yes I know this. Which is why I wonder, he posted in here.

Would he assume any of us knew anything about CVCC's? Huh, I for one, dont.

 

uhh...doesn't common sense apply here....if it has a cam, a distributor, wires and a rotor, then it would have to line up just like most do.....the number one wire (closest to the cam gear side) would lead you to the number one place on the cap where the metal part of the rotor (contact) would want to be........

now if for some reasons they aren't like that, then completely disregard EVERYTHING i've typed like an idiot........i completely can't remember the one and only engine i've seen like that lol
good luck

quit being such a dick.. i should go tell my mod friends and have them dock ur percentage... shut up.. anyawys.. i lined up the metal part of the dizzy to number plug wire while the cam gear showed tdc.. it will kinda start, but then starts like ****.. any thoughts?

 

i'm sure the same logic applies, but you can always pull the number one spark plug to make sure it's at BTDC by putting an extension or something in the hole and manually turning the motor.....to make sure all the marks are right (if there are any) because i've had cars that used plastic shrouds with pointers that got broken.........but if that looks to be about right still (right before the piston is all the way up and the rotor is on the #1 wire) then i don't know....may not be related to the timing....maybe you can bump the distributor around toward the advanced side to get it a bit more "in time" too....does it drag a bit then start, or what....could mean the timing needs to be advanced
