Andy C · 05-15-2008, 12:52 PM

ive timed the car on ht 1 yet it still has doesnt seem timed, i was told to time on number 6 but gave up on this idea as i cant do it.

the revs arent smooth and after driving for more than 20 secs it gets worse? any ideas folks

Make sure the timing belt is on correctly. Then the cam sensor.

does the tensioner adjust itself or do you need a certain tool to get it to work and how should the belt be placed on the cam gears?

the 7m gte engine is timed by using the #6 wire

the 7m ge engine is timed by using the #1 wire

why can't you get to the #6 wire? i just timed mine and it was simple even though i've still got the 3000 pipe and all that straddleing the engine.

All of this is in the tsrm. If you don't have a copy let someone know and we"ll send you a link. We hand that stuff out like candy around here.

I was reading through the TSRM in the timing instructions and it does not mention a specific wire to use. Where did you find this information?

When # 1 sparks so does # 6. The 7M-GTE engine has bank of three coils, the coil on the left connects to leads 1 & 6 the middle coil connects to 3 & 4 and the right hand coil connects to 2 & 5. When # 1 sparks so does # 6, but # 6 is a wasted spark and does nothing. The same applies to the other coils they spark in pairs but one of them will be a wasted spark. Toyota in there wisdom referred to # 6 for the strobe pick up, this saves removing the coil cover that obscures # 1 lead; as they both spark together, it all makes sense now. Firing order just in case someone needs it 1-5-3-6-2-4
