RE: Distributor alignment

If you're not sure that number one is at TDC on the compression stroke, try
doing a (one) full rotation on the crank - you may be off by 180 degrees.

I'm going to send this to the list in case I'm wrong - wait for a confirming
reply from someone else.

Subject: Distributor alignment



Folks,
Many of you have provided advice for changing out my distributor, which I
did
last night, but unfortunately the car still does not start, fault code 2113
(misaligned distributor) is displayed.  I did not mark the position of the
old
one before I took it out, dumb huh?  Last night I set the engine to TDC, I
think, the red mark on the flywheel was centered in the hole and the #1
piston
was at the top of it's stroke.?.?.?  Anyway, once that was set, I aligned
the
rotor to point at the #1 plug wire and the notch on the distributor.
Tightened
the 13mm nut to hold down the distributor and....nothing.  No start.  Still
code
2113.  I'm throwing in the towel, please help.
