timing problems

thewhitedevil69 · 03-13-2006, 06:13 AM

i have a 88 turbo and i blew the head gasket so i replaced it with a 2mm metal one. i was doin the timing and had it on 5 and it ran but not good it would die after 3000 rpms. i was wondering what to set the timing belt at bec i tried to set it at 0 and it dont start now. also how do i set the cps bec i dont think that is right either? also will that have anything to do with y it isnt starting?

set crank to 0
make sure cams are aligned with notches in the plate behind
pull out cps
reset cps to timing marks
put back in
warm up car
turn off
short te1 and e1 terminals in diagnostic box
get timing light
connect it up (make sure it won't get tangled in fan etc)
turn on car
turn cps till timing hits 10 on the crank

done

if in doubt
