Mrcrowley Ok is this not correct? Crank is a TDC on pressure stroke the cam is at #1 and the distributor is at 9 o'clock? If I'm wrong any where plz let me know thanks
Cusser Distributor rotor should point about 9 or 9:30 with factory distributor. Sounds like you already figured out that the rotor/shaft will turn some as you insert the distributor fully. So time to pull out your strobe timing light.
Mrcrowley Cusser I've set I'm b4 on trucks and cars I just can't seem to figure out what's wrong it was running but was out of time a Lil as you cab see in first pics up now I can get it to fire at all it's like it lost spark or something and I can't figure out how
Axel-Breaker-Earl That looks like you are good Mrcrowley.......give it a go and see if you are running smooth now......without any popping out of the exhaust. Keep us posted in your thread here! Here is a link for some info on the 4-cycle internal combustion engine.......and there are plenty more diagrams and info on this if you google the process. https://engineeringdiscoveries.com/how-does-a-four-stroke-engine-work/
Mrcrowley MazdaMitch I got it fired back off and it's not poppin and cracking like it was now new plugs where these are black sut up thanks to everyone for the help I greatly appreciate it and hope I can return it one day
Mrcrowley MazdaMitch I just couldn't figure it out and my book is useless I've never seen a harder book to read and figure out lol but thanks for the help
MazdaMitch Mrcrowley What book was it you were using? You know I have several docs about timing here on the site, and the Mazda Service Manual.
Mrcrowley MazdaMitch the haynes manual but it's for rebuilding the motor and trans my brother bought it for me
MazdaMitch I have the Haynes manual and the Chilton manual and I would like to get that Haynes manual purchase and put it on this website.
Cusser I don't have Haynes or Chilton, just the soft cover/paperback 1988 Mazda truck service manual I purchased back in 1994 when I got my B2200. And I have the B-Series online PDF 1992 service manual and 1991 wiring manuals.
MazdaMitch Cusser it really can't be beat. I use the others to verify or cross reference at times, to deduce a correct answer
Axel-Breaker-Earl I have the real loose leaf binder FSM's in 1993, 1991, & 1990 I think.......plus a paperback 1986 FSM. I also have a 1988 (I think) paperback electrical wiring FSM.
