ok ran great before changes. right. you say unpluged computor to set timing.. yes.. do you mean the plug on the firewall passenger side that looks like a fuse holder kindof..?? (set timing connector ) (tan /blk wire)
did it run good during timing proceedure??? wont be MAP that is engine vacume has nothing to do with what you have replaced.
proceedure is to set timing . shut off engine , plug in.. then restart.
yes timing moves as per ECM specs. check that timing did no get out one tooth when you replaced distributor. retime . restart
if you know the firing order, then get #1 on TDC, and then take the cap off, the rotor should be pointing forward, thats where number 1 wire should go.
Pull the plugs and recheck the gap - no such thing as "Pre-gapped" I dont care what other people say. Also verify your resistance of your spark plug wires & routing.
YOU did the tune up? Check that the wires are in the right position, that the connection to the plug and distributor cap are good. Did you replace rotor and distributor cap? Wires could be needed. That wire might be bad
Sounds like your timing is off when you placed the distributor back in or your spark plug wires are crossed. Start with the simple and check the spark plug wire firing order. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Cylinder numbers drivers side 1-3-5-7 radiator to firewall. Cylinder numbers passenger side 2-4-6-8 radiator to firewall. Distributor cap #1 is at 5 O'clock and rotates clock wise. Once that is establish to be good then make sure the cylinder 1 is at TDC with the distributor rotor at the #1 position. Good luck and hope it's a crossed firing order.
change the ignition module located under the rotor in the distributor cap it has 2 small 8mm bolts and plugs into the distrutor wiring in the cap ( you,ll see) it is flat usually with 2 wires clipped into each end ..this will be the problem..I have changed many.
This is more common when there is a high level of moisture in the air especially with older components. Moisture can settle on the distributor and wires and act as a conductor. Since you are still having this problem with the new parts I would suggest using a moisture dissipating spray such as WD-40 or PB Blaster.
thank you so much for your answer it was helpful
