Hey man im sorry to hear ur suck, i really wanna help u get this ---- going, i know the feeling of being down and out, especially with boost awaiting. So get that new cap and rotor in, make sure u take ur plugs out and air them out or get some new ones... cuz i had problems with my car starting when i drowned my plugs, so i went and got some new ones and took care of the problem.

hmmmm u know what. the thing on the bottom of the distributor. the ---- that slides into the cam. dont know what the ---- its called. but it could be fucked up. because that happened to my cousins crx and it wouldnt fire anymore. cause the distributor fell off. and i dont know. but change that lil bottom peice and it might just do the job. i hope that helps

yes they do go in one way. :P But if you set everything to tdc, cam pulley align to all the marks, and the crankpulley is align to the mark. If you pull the distributor cap out and the rotor isnt pointing to the #1 spark plug then its 180 degrees off. Lets say it was pointing to the #4. spark plug. thens its 180 degree off also. I've done this twice because i pulled out the distributor. I set everything up to tdc, but forgot to pull out the cap to see where the rotor was pointing to. It was actual pointing to #4 and never started up. So i set everything back to tdc pulled the distributor back out and realign the rotor so it was pointing toward the #1 spark plug, then it started right up.

so the only way to know if your 180 degree off is set eveything up to tdc, pull out the cap, and check your rotors to see if they are pointing to the #1 spark plug.

That what I thought. I have another thread about setting it to TDC, I read a few sites on how to do it, hopefully I can go ahead and do it this weekend.

Let see If I get this right. I'm planning on taking the dizzy out, turn the crank pully until cyl one is all the way up, check the markings on the pulley and cam gear to make sure they are both at tdc, if not fix it, then put the dizzy back in and take the cap off check if it is pointing at one, if not rotate 180, try to start it.

Right

Ok, I got some time, finally to put in the new rotor and cap and checked the wires firing order, fixed the wires correctly. Before I did anything about checking for TDC, I just thought, why don't a try to rotate the rotor or spindle thingy 180degrees and try to start it. Well it fired up the first try, and right away, idleing alittle rough, it's still out of time but working. I was happy, thanks for the help. I thought I tried that before, but maybe it was the new cap and rotor that made it worked. Either way I'm happy thanks again.

glad to see you got it running.
