Timing question.

All I have done so far is crack into the timing belt.
It's solid. Then I cam back up here to check the forum.

HH: No sir. Thank you. I will go back down and place that jumper wire in.
I had assumed I didn't need to do that since I had previously timed it with the jumper wire in. Thank you very much. My purpose for going into the timing belt was to make sure the cams were at tdc with the crank.
We're on the same page. Stellar.

Mrnickleye: My next step was to adjust the dist rotor up a tooth.
But now thanks to hh I'm going to recheck the timing with the jumper wire in and see if that doesn't do it. This should put me where I need to be and I'll unplug it and roll it as well.

Edit: I had already been all over that idle line. I have it propperly secure. I'm phasing out stock clamps and going with worm clamps.

Out of curiosity..., guys. What would the car do if the dist rotor was already off a tooth? Would it have a slight sense of hesitation kind of like a baby miss or like a fowled plug? Sorry for lack of better terminology.

To be honest I am not such the mechanic to know what you mean by pump clean. So I won't even venture a guess.

Thanks guys. Very much.
