well the mechanical timing is correct. the crank is on top dead center and the cams are dead on were they should be. the gun still reads 9 degrees with the dist. fully advanced. I'm not throwing any codes. I don't know how to fix this. this is on an 89 DX with a ZC.

 

where was the RPM when it shows 9 Degs of timing?

yah a long time ago i made the same mistake

I did the timing belt on a 89 crx and the timing was off, but I forgot to let the car warm up first...

live and learn lol

 

I let it warm up, it was running for about 15 minutes. the rpm's were around 700-800. thats what it normally idles at. this has me all confused.

 

ahh crap. I forgot about that. Oh well, back to the
garage.

Thanks guys!
