Will post back, in the meantime, can you tell me what you need this for? No code sets until I get over -15 away from 0. It should read 0 but it is okay to be anywhere between -2 to 2. Dannyl answered 4 years ago 97 5. If camshaft retard indicates zero degrees plus or minus 2 degrees, distributor is properly adjusted. If its a hair off guess what guys?? I can't go + any since the cap hits the plenum. I've been wrenching since I was 12 years old.
With it set at 0-1 I get 3. I don't know why everyone overthinks these things. I guess if the base autohobby shop doesn't have the capability, I'll be taking it to the dealer or someone for the final timing adjustment. We'll be smarter then that computer cause whoever designed those computers was obviously smarter right? It sounds like you need to have the tires inspected. Chapper7718 answered 3 years ago Yes, I am really missing my '68 Mustang 200 Straight Six right now. Guess I could use 0.
Finding that page,reference in the book would be difficult. I am currently doing a crankshaft position sensor in my personal 1999 Chevy k1500 z71 5. Start the engine and bring to normal operating temperature. Ecm does not look at reading on scanner will not change unless engine is above 1000 rpm, Then you can adjust, either by rotating distributor while running be careful , or move, then run engine, etc. Good luck on this problem. My chevy runs great, hope you like yours.
Some functions of Snap-on Diagnostics Product Forums will not be available to you if your are not logged in as a registered member. To compensate for a positive reading, rotate the distributor in the clockwise direction. And get it as right as you can. Chastrell70 answered 2 years ago I know this is an old thread but I hope this helps someone in the future. The distributor may need adjusting to prevent crossfire. Thanks for any help you can give. To be continued at some point….
Cannot get koer to scan, not enough rpm change. Thank you for use fixya. Then I googled 97chev 5. The dealer attempts to repair it using many forms of available data. Notice when you start if it seemed better or worst than first start. The 01 tells elm327 to expect one line of response.
A code reader to clear codes would be helpful and make it a lot quicker than having to unhook the batt but isn't even absolutely necessary. I'm assuming with my 5. The hold down is fixed to the distributor. You couldn't pay me to use one. Good luck with your other projects! Do you think they create these terminology deboccles and then hand out technical manuals to everyone? Tighten distributor hold-down bolt to 25 ft.
Yet the engine is still a basic Gen1 Chevy 350. If not, the infamous P1345 code. The parts were assembled out of phase, making the ignition fire incorrectly. In many cases the adjustment is wrong from factory. Aug 17, 2013 Hello theman022002, Your description would indicate that the timing is off. Go over bumps, go through trails, mud, etc. I have the snapshots you gave me above from alldata and thank you for the info by the way.
Truck is a very hard start intermittently. This isn't specifically addressed in the procedures that I've found so far. Then we put the engine in a car that ran for years after. The people are always what has saved their method. I also tried the 22130101 unsuccessfully.
