FIRST BEFORE REMOVING DISTRIBUTOR YOU NEED TO HAVE ENGINE IN NUMBER 1 FIRING POSITION AND THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY MARK SHOULD LINED UP TO 0 DEGREE ON THE TIMING SCALE ON THE TIMING COVER. BEFORE REMOVING DISTRIBUTOR YOUR DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR SHOULD BE POINTING TO THE NUMBER ONE FIRING POSITION AND NUMBER ONE PISTON AT TOP DEAD CENTER.

You will need a timing light....Start the engine and allow it to warm to normal operating temperature....disconnect the vacuum adavance--then slowly rotate the distrubtor while using the timing light to set it.
The timing mark for top dead center will be on the harmonic balancer, the pointer will be attached to timing chain cover, Set the timing as follows per engine size.
5.0L- BTDC 10° ± 2°
5.8L- BTDC 10° ± 2°
7.5L- BTDC 10° ± 2°

Turn off the engine and tighten the distributor bolt. Recheck the timing to verify that the timing did not move while tightening the distributor. Replace the shorting bar or vacuum line.

I hope this helps,

2001 dodge status isnt firing. turns over but wont start. is there a fuel pump reset switch?

What engine?

I assume you checked for fuel pressure and have none?

There is no switch to reset. Ford is the only one that uses this.

If you have not checked for fuel pressure or for spark here is some info to get you in the right direction.

The six cylinder (2.7 LITER) has a common issue with the distributor. Pretty simple to figure out. Check for spark. If there is no spark than replace the distributor.

You may also want to check to see if the timing belt is broken. On the 6 cylinder you can pull the distributor cap and see if the rotor spins while you crank the engine over. If it does not spin your timing belt is likely broken.

On the four cylinder you can take a few of the bolts off from the upper timing cover and watch the timing belt while the engine cranks over to see if it is moving.

How to line distributor shaft when replacing ignition control module on a 1991 ford f150 v8 truck

Set the engine to the number one compression,and bring the timing mark to zero on the harmonic balancer.(or just bring the timing on the harmonic to zero). mark to match the plug wires to cap,remove the cap.(if you can remove the cap without removing plug wire) mark the rotor position to the engine using a scribe, mark the rotor to the distributor, mark the distributor to the engine using a scribe,Take the lock down bolt out and pull out distributor. when you reinstall line up all your marking and check timing.

Whats the easiest way to replace pick up sensor inside of distributor , think thats ? what its called ? so far ive replaced fuel pump, fuel filter , ignition module, and still same problem when engine gets...

have done 1000's, u must remove the distributor and drive out the roll pin that holds the distributor drive gear on and then remove the distributor shaft to change the stator, or pickup as u call it, remember to mark the direction the rotor was pointed and the base of the distributor as well, if u do this u often never even have to reset the igntion timing.

I put in a new cam shaft sensor and the engine lite now blinks which says that its mis firing do i set the the timing like the old distributers ( on a 2000 ford taurus ohv )

yes...replacing the cam sensor is just like a distributor

however, additionally, you need to reset the timing via a scan tool

1999 ford explorer cam sensor needs replaced how hard is it to replace

the CMP (camshaft positioning sensor) is located underneath (or technically inside) the distributor. The manual states the distributor is sealed and the cmp is inside, but is also replaceable. therefore, I am guessing the cmp is bolted underneath the distributor. If you remove the distributor, the end of the shaft should be a slot and not splines and the timing is not adjustable, so when you put it back together if the timing is wrong, the distributor can only be 180 degrees off, so you don't have to be too picky about perfect placement. Make sure to marke it anyway though, to avoid being 180 off.

I am working on 95 ford truck f 700 no spark from coil so changed the coil still nothing and 11 volts going in have any ideas?

Hello.
The most common no spark problem on these trucks is the ignition module.
These are mounted on the distributor with 2 small bolts. You may need to turn the distributor to access the bolts if yours is a V8. So you may need to reset your timing afterwards.If you do not have a timing light very carefully mark the position of the distributor first.
You only need to loosen the bolt at the base of the distributor to allow it to turn.
If the module doesn't cure the problem you may need to replace the pickup coil inside the distributor itself. This will entail distributor disassembly to replace.

Tune up

Start by replacing the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, the fuel filter, air filter and O2 sensor then reset the igntion timing to factory specs.
