Whyknot87: As far as I know, Nissan did not put a 2400 in a Sentra in 1992 or for that matter any year that I am aware of.
The Sentra had an SR20DE Which was a dual overhead cam engine.
According to Nissan, setting the timing on this engine requires the use of a scan tool as part of the procedure. There is no procedure for setting it without a scann tool.
The timing for this engine is 15 dedrees +/- 2 degrees @700RPM

The other engine this year Sentra used was a GA16DE
which was also a dual overhead cam engine.
This one could be set in a conventional manner with a regular timing light. You must have the engine at normal operating temp.
Disconnect the throttle switch and then you set the timing to
10 degrees +/_ 2 degrees @700RPM

The 2400 engine you probably are referring to is the KA24DE which came in Nissan 240SX and the Nissan Stanza. There are procedures for setting these as well, however I need to know wha4t car and engine you have?
The 2400 had 15 degrees +/- 2 degrees @700RPM

Check your ignition timing! misfiring causes an advance opening and closing of the exhaust valve and overheating. have a mechanic to check on that w/ proper tools and module. taah!

1994 nissan altima will turn over but not start...HELP

sounds like your timing is off. YOu will need a timing light to set it. Check with Autozone, they have a loan a tool program and may have one you can borrow. You will need to contact nissan to determine what the proper timing is for your engine.

Timing chain

seek a cheap manuel-haynes or chiltons $20-25 to get step by step procedures. get them at auto zone or popular auto parts places. The preocedure has many steps. I am a seasoned mechanic and still get the cheap manuels to get proper timing chain position on the gears.

Do i need to change my timing chain when i change my water pump on a 96 nissan maxima?

Not necessarily. You should at least consider it if you are close to a major service milestone (90k, 120k, etc.). It is a lot of work to change the timing chain (belt), but you have to do some of the work anyway to replace the water pump.
