Where are the marks to time my car? Ive replaced the sensor and now anything over 3grand then car engine reduced comes on

 

Under valve cover on cam gears and on the chain. and under front cover on sprocket. If you look they won't be lined up though

 

op what did you replace what sensor

 

Cam postion sensor. So do I need to turn the crank pulley till it lines up?

 

Bump

 

Lol bumping for ten min? Look at the cam install on here. Explains how to time engine and set cps

 

follow this



next time post your car problems in problems and service

 

The notches are aligned but it will not slide in. Any help?

 

did you put the engine on tdc compression stroke

 

This.

The CPS housing should slide right in to the hex on the exhaust cam if the car is properly timed/lined up.

Make sure the mark on the crank pulley is lined up with the mark on the front cover.

cam gears will be as follows: intake 2 o clock exhaust 10 o clock.

 

Where is the mark on the timing cover? 5 o'clock

 

The mark is on the outside of the front cover (timing cover). You need to rotate the crank pulley to line up with it.

There is a notch on the back side of the crank pulley. Line the notch with the mark on the front cover as seen in the first image i posted.

The cam gears should be in line the way I have them shown in the 2nd image.

Follow the image mrbelvedre posted and my 3rd photo for the cps housing to align it correctly. Should slide right into the exhaust cam hex w/o issue.

 

Thanks alot I'll update later today.

 

Cam housing went in smoothly and notches were aligned. What else is wrong cam sensor itself?

 

did you put #4 tdc compression

 

Is #4 on the driver side and if so how do you go about it being tdc

 

take the spark plug out put a compression tester in #4 cylinder rotate the engine by hand till it builds compression you can then either line up the marks on the front cover or put a long screwdriver down #1 and rotate the engine till the screwdriver stops going up then install the cps housing this stuff is not hard take it to a shop if need be

 

#4 is the first one on the driver side?

 

Also does the belt have to be removed?

 

to see the timing mark yes

 

shove a paper towel in there, when you hear a hissing or the paper towel comes out shove a screw driver in there and rotate slowly until it hits its top range, then shove the cam thingy in. Simple enough? Done it twice now, first time took me 20 minutes

 

Should all the spark plugs be pulled out while doing this? I'm just tryin to understand everything correctly

 

Guys this isnt hard. TDC center and the engine in time will be as I decribed in my photos a few posts up.

Timing mark lined up on pulley and front cover. Intake cam gear at 2 o clock and exhaust at 10 o clock.

Piston #1 & #4 will be up, piston #2 & #3 will be down. Check with a screw driver.

 

all of this is basic auto if you don't understand it take it to a shop take it to a shop

 

Before installation, intake at 2 with blue link and exhaust at 10 with red link?
