How do you set the timing on a 2002 Isuzu Rodeo 2.2L 4 cylinder? The driver-side camshaft pulley is different on the 4 cylinder than it is on the 3.2L V-6 as it has a marking for intake and another for exhaust.Which marking on the driver-side pulley am I supposed to align with the timing cover backplate marking?

  Mar 30, 2013 - If you are just testing the sensor, you can check the cam sensor signal at the ECM on pin 11 of connector number 2. It is the same blue wire.
  
  ..

no engine stated, 4 banger or v6 but same answer.
there is no such sensor until 1996
why not post the problem or a symptom
and ask for help.
like
wont' crank.
cranks but will not start.
starts and stalls.
starts, runs but misfires.
like that.
get a tuneup yet?> (crystal ball)
V6 (guessing yours)
if you meant crank sensor its on the right side of engine block center.

seen here, CKP "crank sensor"
if you look for a CMP on line you will find it
but its Bunk, it's not there, stores mix parts up. et cetra.

All timing on engines is always done on Number 1 cylinder. On an inline engine it is the very front cylinder nearest to the radiator. On a transverse engine it is the cylinder nearest to the belt drive pulleys.

4 Cylinder diesel(4JX1) :
1 - Timing mark
2 - Cam pulley
3 - HP Oil pump pulley
4 - Tensioner pulley




6 Cylinder petrol:
Align crank(C) timing notch mark (1) to oil pump mark.
Align cam pulley(L+R) marks(3) to cylinder head marks
The cam belt has 3 marks, 2 lines and one mark that is actually a row of dots. Align the dots to the crank pulley groove mark(2) and align the other 2 lines to the cam pulley marks. Using a clothes peg to hold the belt to the cam pulleys works wonders to keep it in place while fitting. Please note the arrows on the belt and have them point in the direction of rotation - right to left side of engine
W - water pump pulley
I - Idler pulley
T - Tensioner pulley.

If for some reason you need to realign the cams on each bank :
Standing in front of the car and starting from YOUR left , looking at the cams you should see RE, RI, LI, LE on each of the camshafts.(R for right bank, L for left bank, I for intake and E for exhaust) Right bank camshafts are marked with one dot, left bank with 2 dots on the shaft itself. To align the camshafts to each other each cam shaft gear has a mark on it. Draw an imaginary line between the centre of the camshaft and the centre of the pulley. The alignment mark should be between the two along this imaginary line. The result will be that RI an RE will be at the top of each gear. The same with the left bank.

Where Is The Camshaft Position Sensor Located On A 1999 Isuzu Rodeo?

Start with crankshaft pulley. At the rear of the pulley is a notch. Align it with the mark on the oil pump.(No 2 piston is at TDC) There is also a groove on the pulley that needs to be aligned with the white dots on the cambelt. The lettering on the belt must be readable as viewed from the front of the vehicle.
(When seated in the vehicle the RH bank of the engine is on the RH side of the vehicle.Keep this in mind)
At the front of the camshaft pulley is a groove. Rotate the RH bank camshaft pulley to align this groove with the mark on the cylinder head cover. On the cambelt is a white line. This must also align with these marks. Do the same on the LH bank. To be sure the cams are now correctly aligned remove the cylinder head cover. On the camshaft drive gears the letters RI(Right intake) and RE(Right exhaust) will be at the top and readable for the RH bank. (For the LH bank it will be LI and LE) Reinstall the tensioner and rotate the crankshaft with a wrench to make sure there is no unintentional mechanical contact.

This is the same for many years. I will send this in 2 post it is to long. Hope this helps you. From the '00 Rodeo workshop manual:

The cam pulleys turn 3 or more turns to one of the camshaft. You need to find someone that is experienced on this vehicle. Just aligning marks does not mean its in sync.

No. 4 to Top Dead Center is Correct.

The firing order for a six cylinder is 1-2-3-4-5-6 distributor rotation-clockwise...cylinders 1-3-5 on drivers side...2-4-6 on passenger side
