mikeod55 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I changed the plugs, wires, coil, PCV and fuel filter. The MAF and EGR seem to be working correctly. The old spark plugs from cylinder 1 and 3 were black and looked carbon fouled. I'm NOT a mechanic! I'm just a broke bastard trying to fix his car! Any help is appreciated.

Fairtax4me Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Timing could have jumped on the 1/3 cam shaft. Pull the timing end covers and see if the marks line up. Line up the notch on the drivers side cam sprocket with the notch in the cover. Edited November 23, 2013 by Fairtax4me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeod55 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have no idea how to do that! Figuring out how to change the plugs was a major, knukle bleeding process for me. If you know of a good video to show me how, I'll do my best? Appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwick Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 When was the last time the timing belt was changed? i.e. how many miles ago? This video should help: The big sprocket has a notch stamped into it. When that notch is at 12 o'clock, the other sprocket on other side should be as well.
