Zx2 2-0 zetec engine new timing belt and drive belt

FORD ESCORT.THE TWIN CAM, DOHC.ENGINE.
do not mix up coil pack 4HV wires or wrecks firing order
THE PCM + PACK SETS FIRING ORDER.
WIRED WRONG THERE IS NO RUNNING, ENGINE.
I WILL POST A BETTER PACK FROM NGK
do not change HV wires unless 1 at a time.
if one HV wire fails 2 plugs go dead.
this tech is called wasted spark.
the misfire is real and plug 1 and 3 are dead
flashing CEL means CAT melts next with flood of raw fuel landing on the CAT input.
first learn the 3 rules of spark engines
good engine, 150psi or more, and cam belt not SLIPPED.
next is spark if spark is good fuel is last
cant burn fuel on dead engine or dead spark or timed backwards.
301means weak combustion#1ONLY THAT>
why is next. and that takes tools GOT TOOLS?
99% do not here and want 50 guesses.
if used a timing light (spark tool) and timing is wayoff
the belt was put in wrong
or coil pack wired wrong.,OMG not both, sigh./

ZX2 ACTUAL

1998-2003 2.0 L (1989 cc) Zetec, DOHC I4, 130 hp (97 kW) at 5,750 rpm, 127 ft?lbf (172 N?m) at 4,250 rpm, redline 6,500 rpm, 7,200 rpm rev limiter ZX2
1342 FIRING ORDER, AND 1 AND 4 FIRE AT ONCE.
AS DOES 3 AND 2
INSIDE ONLY 2 COILS
MY 1975 HONDA CB750 HAD SAME THING. BACK THEN,.

CLEAR AS DAY HERE, IF DONE WRONG.

What do you mean nothing?

Its the same on all engines .On the harmonic balancer witch is a fancy name for the pulley on the front of the crankshaft .
If you mean the actual timing gears their will be small indentations on both gears crank and cam they need to line up exactly in the middle .
A tip take out all of the spark plugs find #1 cylinder bar the engine over with your finger over #1 cylinder plug hole .
When you feel pressure you are on the compression stroke.
Take a strew put it down the hole and turn the engine until its at the top of the compression . TDC top dead center .
Install the timing gears so they line up in the middle and you are in the ball park .
Most engines timing is set fire BTDC before top dead center like 10 degrees or so because the firing needs to happen before the exhaust valves open thus a loss of power ATDC after top dead center .
Have fun

You can find the timing mark on the end of a crank shaft by looking for an indented dot which marks top dead center.
A flywheel is balanced and does not need a mark. However if the wheel you refer to is a cam gear (one or two gears depending on how many cam shafts your engine has) look for 2 dots with a tooth grove between the two dots. A matching drive gear will have a single dot aligned with a tooth on the drive gear. When put together the single tooth marked on the drive gear must fall into the grove marked the the 2 dots on the cam gears.

If you are just trying to time an engine, the belt drive pulley mounted to the crank shaft will have a single indented line. The line can get filled with dirt so you can't see it. Wipe it clean and fill with grove with something to highlight the groove, as with a white or yellow crayon or a dob of bright paint. Associated with the belt drive pulley, there should be a metal plate with line marks spaced on it, with 0 degrees (top dead center TDC) marked on it, When the engine is running, using a strobe light connected to your number 1 spark plug you will see where the timing mark on the belt drive pulley is compared to the metal plate with the timing marks.

Sounds like you have the distributor on tooth advanced. Pull the cap and with the timing mark at TDC make sure the rotor is pointing at #1 spark plug wire. If not, either pull the distributor and set it so it does point at #1 or rotate the wires one spot.

The Cam sensor usually senses the position of the timing belt or timing chain gear and tells the computer when #1 cylinder is at top dead center. In other words, when #1 cylinder comes up. Crank sensor tells the computer when to fire the spark plugs in the rest of the cylinders. In other words, as the crank shaft goes around it tells the computer when each piston comes up so it can fire it's spark plug


so replace the crankshaft sensor

check the firing order of the spark plugs and make sure the number 1 piston is on top dead center and start from that check the marks on the crank shaft pulley if donot match your timing belt(or chain) position is no good and double check all pushing rods.

Factory timing for all 90-93 normally aspirated Celicas (ST, GT, and GT-S) is 10º before top dead center (BTDC). This means when the crankshaft angle of the number one cylinder reaches 10º, the spark plug will fire. It fires before it reaches top dead center (TDC) because the flame front takes time to fully combust and push the piston downward. this site might help u .http://www.toyotacelicaonline.com/timing.htm

Sounds 180 degrees out. Move flywheel to top dead center. Remove timing belt and turn flywheel pulley ONE complete turn to top dead center. Then put timing belt back on with marks lined up.

remove the number one spark plug and insert a long screw driver in the spark plug hole then turn the engine and when the screw driver gets to the top or highest level and just about to go down again then there is the top dead center then look for two marks on the crank gear and make sure they match
