It's a 1993 Acura Integra LS. It bogged out last week and I thought it was a distributor issue because there was no spark. I fixed that issue by installing a new distributor, cap, and plugs. Now there is fuel getting to the rail. There is spark now. But the car won't start completely. Sounds normal when you crank it but just never fully starts up. I was told that when it died out that it could have "jumped timing"..Do you think timing is an issue? How hard is it to do yourself? I have done 3 Hybrid swaps but have never done timing. Would you recommend this to me? Or if not how much would a shop charge to redo the timing?

Any help is appreciated..i need to get this car on the road soon..

 

timing is simple...go to the HOW TO section at http://www.c-speedracing.com

 

nopt timing...you need to adjust the whole belt. Set the crank to TDC at cyl. #1 then the cams to #1 and put on the belt. Its not and easy task and REAL easy to do it wrong. A shop would probaly charge like $75-$150 maybe.

 

hehe yah really easy
and really easy to do wrong
1st time i did it, i just tried not to move anything, that didnt work
then i did it right, but i thought i did it wrong cuz i was a dumbass and didnt let the car warm up, so my car was idling at 1500 rpm and i was trying to adjust timing at that rpm
Then 5 times later... well yah
to make a long story short, i can change a timing belt in about 30 mintues now
