Timing question.
2 Attachment(s)
'99 10AE
Car's running like garbage- Timing marks on the cover show 10BTC and 5 hash marks to the right.. no designated TDC on the cover, but it's assumed the 5th mark would be TDC. I have two engraved marks on my pulley/HB. How in the world does the left engraved mark on the pulley read TDC and the right engraved mark completely off the grid? Yes, I jumped 10/gnd with no load. Mine looks like this running. |
Did the outer ring shift? Have you found true TDC with the dipstick down the no.1 plug hole? Do the marks line up then?
|
why are you jumping 10/gnd on a NB to check timing? that's for NA's
did you recently do the belt? its way way off unless the tensioner is loose and it jumped like crazy |

I would bet the exhaust cam is off a tooth (which would be about 10 degrees) and the cam sensor is throwing the timing off. When you check the cam gears it's tough to tell visually if they're correct, use your finger to feel if they're lined up with the "I" & "E" and that will tell you for sure. |
19 teeth between the gears if I remember correctly

I would doubt it, but you can do what Oscar said to verify.

He said '99 10AE. Cam sensor is looking at intake gear.
Also, as I thought about the gear sizes, I'm changing my bet to it being off by 2 teeth on the intake side. |
Thanks for the responses.
I pulled the upper cover and the I/E line up perfectly, so the belt didn't slip. HB/Pulley slip? |
Did you check top dead center with the dipstick in cylinder 1 against the timing cover (remove spark plug in front cylinder, stick dipstick in hole, turn motor over until dipstick is as high as it goes, check to see if timing marks line up with top dead center)? The pin in the crank pulley pretty much guarantees that it does not slip without completely destroying your crank... unless you forgot to put that pin in when you put the pulley back on.

I didn't and here's why. unless my thinking is skewed( and it may be, so correct me, please), it would be next to impossible for the belt to slip and have the cam gears (I/E) still line up to the hash marks perfectly. If the belt slips one, or both of those cam gears would be off. I'm pretty certain the woodruff key hasn't sheered.. |

Bottom line is: the BP is one of the easiest engines ever to set timing on. So pull the front apart, and set it right like you sould have from the start.
To me it sounds like you're being lazy, pulled off the vc and glanced at the marks, and say its all good. If not then my bad. |
You have to jumper GND and TEN on (at least some) NBs.
My NB is OBDI, for example. |

You need to jumper TEN and GND to set the idle speed correctly and verify base timing on my NBB/NB2 |
Maybe you're right, I've always set timing with MS installed and not stock ecu.

Yes, timing is wrong. Yes "TEN" (which stands for something and not the number "10") to ground. One mark should be on 10*BDC and one should be on 0*
