Timing belt align to rotor problem.

[Denis]

  I have a timing light and i checked the firing on the first cyl.
  The timing tells 15 degres Before TDC so the fire is ok even the distr rotor is 180 degres away, and the cyl 1 sparkplug wire is located 180degres away when the cam and crank are at the marks.

  The crank pulley pin, cam sprocket pin and the distr pin are ok. So nothing has been twist.
  The front  crank pulley mark correspond to the flywheel mark.

  I m searching about the sparkplug wiring location on the cap...

  The engine is running good with my setup but does not run at all with the setting on Bentley book. The engine was like that before i got that car. I just wanted to do all things good as the factory did. I just discovered its not.

    Well, then, that's probably not the problem. :)

    Unless the rotor has been misaligned.  But I don't think that 
    can happen either.  You've double checked the spark plug 
    wires and firing order. Hmmm...  

    Do you have access to an oscilloscope to test the output 
    of the ignition system?  Maybe pay to have an automotive
    electrical shop do it for you?
