timing belt skipped Re: How was your trip home?

[Denis]

    The replies helped me to understand the CIS-3 and its components.

    The biggest problem is gone.

    2 problems left as i mentionned.

    Low fuel system pressure: pump (new) or fuel regulator; i sqeezed the return line to make the pressure higher but nothing much better so i thing the pump is not so good.

      Actually on the NF/NG with CIS-E3, the ECU has no idea where TDC is, it 
      just control the timing electronically *relative* to where the static 
      position of the dist. is.  On the turbo cars from that era, there is a 
      flywheel position sensor to let the ECU know where TDC is.

      Correct, of course - meaning that if the rivet is still in place, his 
      dist. timing should be correct already.
