SuBrat84 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Timing. I assume you had the timing belts, etc. off to do this job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 yes but why would it run the same with just two cylenders connected as it does when i have all six connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 yes but why would it run the same with just two cylenders connected as it does when i have all six connected? Maybe it´s due to bad timin´... The valves opens before the spark comes, fuel goes out without combustion. Also: check for cracked Dist. Cap... Maybe... Good Luck!

jeffast Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 i thought that at first but now i'm thinking my timing is off because only two of the cylender on the opther side are fireing i'm gonna redo my t belts tommorow and if that doesn't help i'm driving the volvo and the engine is coming out of the six am never removing the valve covers while the engine is in the car EVER AGAIN trust me it can be done but i never will do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 BAH! the valve covers are easy once you get the right tool... seek out a racheting wrench young one and all will be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Did you uhhh *cough* remember to plug the MAF back in?

jeffast Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 yes i did check the maf and other plugs remember the first red rocks meet i drove up there with no maf no idle air control valve no exhaust any way evrey thing is pluged in i think the timing may be one tooth off i'm checking it tommorow if it's not the belt i'm pulling the engine i can do a cam carrier it in 10 min flat with my eyes closed after spending 1.5hr to pull the engine or i can spend 40 highly aggrevationg minutes working blind and do it wrong for a fourth time if the valve cover comes off again someone else is doing it or it's comming out of the car first it's been done wrong to many times besides me going to the dragon is screwed at this point any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
