Need help!

So i am basically finished with timing but would like some help with making it 100% done. I got camshafts TDC, Crankshaft TDC and got the ignition timing set. Does the timing have to be TDC exactly or BTDC? and is it required to ground the plug under dash in order to do ignition timing?

Are you referring to mechanical or ignition timing? When installing the belt you set the tdc mark on the crank pulley to the mark on the timing cover. When adjusting your ignition timing you set it to 16 degrees +/- 2 degrees before tdc with a timing light. Those are the other 3 marks on the crank pulley. You don’t ground the connector, you just jump the two pins together.

rollinmyda: Ignition. For mechanical I set the crank to white mark and both cams to tdc arrows up. Did the order of steps to get the belt tight. but i think the problem was I didn’t let the engine warm up before I started the ignition timing and I didn’t set the ignition timing 16" +2 BTDC. Will have to plug ground in right after radiator fan turns on.

Still having problem with timing. So I tried to get the timing to 16" +2 BTDC and the distributor wont go that far, Sits more on Retarted side of distributor between pulley tdc and +2 btdc. What did I do wrong to get to were I am at right now? and how would I fix this? Runs good but need to pass smog.

Double, or triple check your mechanical timing. If that’s not it, is your distributor an OEM unit? I had the exact same problem once after installing a new belt and couldn’t get the ignition timing even close. I double checked my mechanical timing, even tore it all apart as a sanity check and reinstalled everything again. Still couldn’t get ignition timing close so I pulled the distributor off (it was aftermarket not OEM), rotated the teeth that meet the camshaft 180 degrees, and it was perfect. The rest of the adjustment could finally be made with the distributor. Some of the aftermarket units don’t have different sized teeth to match the grooves on the camshaft.

Still haven’t tried to fix it yet. Will have to remove valve/timing belt cover, Double check TDC on Crank and camshafts. If those are all correct, remove the distributor and rotate 180 and see if it works? Just hope its not too hard and I don’t wanna mess up the distributor O-ring. Will also take some pictures that i forgot to take.

(Diagram on bottom has a NOTE aswell idk if its true or not)
NOTE:The lugs on the end of the distributor and its mating grooves in the camshaft end are both offset to eliminate the possibility of installing the distributor 180 degrees out of time.

Timing Belt and Water Pump Replacement on a G3 Teg :

Problem

So while working on the timing TDC I noticed my brake light is on even when the E Brake is down. The E brake light goes brighter when E brakes on and when I release it, it gets a little dimmer. What can cause this?

Low brake fluid most likely. Or a problem with the connection at the ebrake.

rollinmyda: Fixed problem. Ended up being the sensor on the master cylinder. Will continue to work on TDC. Thanks for the help.
