you messed up the timing...

you need to set timing marks correctly and it cannot be off a tooth otherwise u get that problem. im hoping its not far off or you could have damaged your valve since you got an interference engine.


your not only setting the crankshaft but also the camshafts.


im lost, is this guy asking for ignition timing or is he doing a timing belt install??

If you remove the crank pulley and lower timing cover, there is also a set of marks in the lower timing gear and oil pump. Sometimes it's a little easier to use these to set the cam timing, as you can look straight at these from inside the wheelwell.

Im doing the timing belt install. The Head pulley mached up and the oil pump did too. Do you guys think i messed up my ingnition timing. It dosent do it all the time just somtimes. If it was the timing belt wouldent it stall all the time.

Well if you pull the covers, the marks at the bottom are lined up, and the arrows on the cam pulleys are up and the marks lined up also?

with that pic above, is the crank pulley mark and pionter (white mark and plastic cover mark ) matched? it has to be perfect. if it is, your timing is good.

Timing is not the same , you should definitely get a timing light to make sure that your engine is running the right degree,

The timing was good i pluged in the computer OBD II and it was fine but my engine was miss fireing (Multiple Missfire). After taking out spark plug #2 i noticed it was kinda wet then i cranked the engine and colent came spitting out the spark plug hoe. Would you guys think this is the cause of the miss fire and why would coolent spit out the hoe. Can it be the had gasket.

Yea, that would cause the problem. If you have coolant in the cylinder, then the head gasket is leaking allowing it in there.
