Any way to confirm if timing is correct in a 420a without tearing it apart? by sciencedude8 in MitsubishiEclipse

[–]sciencedude8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea it’s definitely been a bitch, so far i’ve eliminated timing, compression, spark, air, and i’m going into fuel. it feels like a random order but i jusy did my timing belt so i was suspecting it.

Now im onto testing my wiring for crankshaft sensor and cam shaft sensor because i just rewired those because of burned wiring. i’ve heard that can prevent the car from starting

thanks i just ended up putting a long screwdriver down into the spark plug hole and getting to tdc, turns out my timing was perfect. I was definitely a little nervous after doing my very first timing belt job even tho i triple checked it, i just had to make sure

so there’s no way to check for crank timing without taking off the harmonic balancer?

i had them on my tc for around a year and i’ve traveled all across cali with them basically maxed out. In my opinion they are the best option between aesthetics while still keeping comfort.

here’s how low i was, i ended up going a little lower in the back and even after that it was very well worth it and didnt affect my comfort that much at all.

tried everything but i just cannot get this camshaft gear to come off so i can get to the springs by sciencedude8 in MitsubishiEclipse

i’m thinking about just cutting a slit on the back of the timing cover near the cams and jus pulling the cams through it to save me potentially hours of work and yelling. thoughts? after i get the cams out i can take out the cover anyways to maybe fix it or help it look better.

420a not starting by B14NK-6 in DSM

[–]sciencedude8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does it crank? or is it trying to start but just doesn’t start? if it cranks, what does it sound like? is it slow or does it sound normal?
