23726, timing off
Posted by shuwa29, May-23-02 11:22 PM
ok, i know for a fact that my timing is off b/c i've asked some questions before. i looked at the cam gears and it looks like the exhaust cam is not aligned right compared to the intake cam. it looks like it's half a notch off. my idle is kinda rough and my intake vacuum pressure is around 10-12 instead of 20. i'm about to order the cam gears but i just want to make sure this is the right cam gear that is off. so any help is appreciated.
later

your the one looking at it. if it looks like its off then its off, the poor idle is def. a symptom of timing off, go ahead and get the adj. gears and dial it back in.

I wouldn’t use adjustable cam gears to compensate for cam gear misalignment. When you put the adjustable cam gears on, just make sure to properly tension the timing belt (most likely the reason it looks like it is only off half a tooth).
