Re: Runs no power
It probably is. Check your distributor indexing.Maddawg wrote:Seems as if timing is way off.

Re: Runs no power
It's distributorless, I have coil packs. The cam sensor I have adjusted a bit and depending how far I go it won't start at all.

Re: Runs no power
Could this be a result of timing chain not being lined up/ installed properly?

Re: Runs no power
Possibly. It could be one or two teeth off.

Re: Runs no power
I tried the toothpick method lining up the cam sensor and then it won't start at all, so I have to play with the sensor to get it to run. Does the snsor have to face any specific direction since the oil pump slot can rotate?

Re: Runs no power
Since your engine uses a wasted spark system, maybe you are 180 deg out. You should probably pull the valve cover and verify that #1 is tdc on the compression stroke then try the tooth pick again.

Re: Runs no power
I'm not sure but I may have an issue with the crank gear. The timing (mark) divit is on the leftside of the keyway( on passengerside) when on TDC. The Haynes manual shows it on the right side(drivers)

Re: Runs no power
Just went out and looked at my core 4.0, if the key is straight up the the timing mark will be on the passenger side, the marks must line up thrue the centers of both shafts when the #1 piston is at TDC.
You can get more power out of ANY engine!!!

Re: Runs no power
Well after a weekend of wrenching it doesn't start. I redid and checked to make sure I wasn't a tooth off or 180out ,TDC & did tooth pick method. So now I will degree the cam. Anyone have any ideas or links to help explain the how to? I did some reading , but just not grasping it. Thanks
