LINE UP TMING MARKS WHERE ARE THEY - 1997 Volvo 960

you do not need diagram for it just follow the marks on the crank shaft and cam shaft sprockets to be aligned and also there is a special tool to do it easier which as I remember do not cost much.

it sounds like the valve timing might have slipped on and jammed the engine you will have to check the tming marks and see if they line up

there is no ecu switch...... you really should not get info from parts sellers. are you sure all the timing marks are lined up? is the crank position sensor installed ok, wiring ok, check all fuses

The timiing is set by aliging the timing marks on the cam with the timing marks on the crank -- then the belt goes on.

Your public library will have a manual covering your mechanical repair. Moreover, they have the automotive shops online software called AllData. It is the best auto technician database available today. You can print out specific troubleshooting procedures, diagrams, step-by-step istructions, and soforth. The typical person cannot afford to pay for this service, just automotive dealerships, etc... that is why the public library made it available to everyone and for free to view and print out material. This should Fixya! Good Luck!

EASY ENOUGH JOB JUST MAKE NOTE OF TMING MARKS

There are alignment marks on the timing set,and before you remove the old timing set,you must get cylinder number 1 in the firing order to Top Dead Center....then you can remove the old,and reinstall the new,timing set,but pay careful attention to the marks on each gear,in relationship to each other and where they line up.The new timing gear and chain set should have directions on where they are to line up,if not,you need to buy a Chilton manual for your specific car,as i don't have the specific information for your 3.1 engine.It sounds like your timing is WAY off,and when rotating the crank,a piston is hitting a valve...that means it's WAY out of phase...do not start the engine until resolved.The camshaft actuates the valves in relation to the crank and pistons' position,and when the valves open or close is VERY important for the engine to run properly,this is what i'm talking about (phased in) correctly.
