i had to replace my distributor and i kno that it is off but my question is how to make sure it is in the correct spot and i cannot figure out how to make my car idle, i have 4 yr old gas mixed with 91 octane and of course i kno that the timing is off but how can i make sure that the idle is set right if i cannot get it to idle lol

 

fix one problem at a time, the 4 year old gas. you got jello for fuel. my bet is thats whats making your engine idle like shat.

 

I have a 92 240 and i was wanting to adjust the timing. I cannot find the correct timing anywhere. Does anyone know what the correst timing specs are?

 

look under your hood mine says 20*

 

go search google for the factory service manual, its out there.....
otherwise cant he just get the crank pully to TDC and then put in the distributor where its on plug #1???....thats what i did, but its 1 tooth off, so i just gotta pull it out and move it over one....but i would think that EXTREMELY old fuel has somethin to do with it

 

ok thanks a lot. The sticker under my hood was gone.

I moved my dist. one tooth over and now it is sitting at around 25-30* BTDC, and if i move it back one, it is too far the other way, do i need to unplug a connector somewhere so the computer isnt trying to adj. the timing for me....i cant get it to 20* and so it runs rough at idle and all the way up to 1800rpm in every gear

help

 

I was once again trying to adjust my timing but i dont know which notch on the belt is 20 degress. Can anyone help me or have pictures cause as you can tell im a newbie!

 

its the furthest to the right (drivers side)...there should be 6 notches on your crank pulley from left to right (pass to driver) it should be 5* after TDC, 0* TDC, and then 5*, 10* 15* 20* all Before TDC, looking at the sticker on the hood it says 20* BTDC, so as its spinning counterclock wise you want the very last mark...hope this helps

do yourself a favor and dl your Fact. Serv. Manual
