Where are the timing marks for a 1994 Mecury Capri?

1994 Mercury Capri ac does not have a cabin air filter. Weak air flow and bad smell could be debris in the fresh air/ac inputs. Check under the hood for debris where the air enters, the area under the wiper, and behind the vents inside, they get clogged if you park under a shedding tree...Chris

No, key only. Sellers on ebay have aftermarket kits for about $25 if you want a switch...Chris

The cams make 2 complete rotations for every 1 rotation of the crank so you could be out of time by 180 degrees.With the valve cover off turn the engine over by hand. As #1 piston comes up on TDC the intake valves should be open and starting to close. As you go past TDC the exhaust valves should start to open. If this is not what is happening in this order then your timing is off. Your engine should be at TDC when the timing marks are lined up with the marker on the engine. Hope this helps.

The problem is that once the top is back and almost in the holding area it won't fit in. The trick is to grab the center bow and manually push it backwards. Once it is repositioned, the top will fit into the compartment...good luck...Chris

I would suspect that you have a loose connection inside the distributor or in the ignition wiring. Give it a good visual inspection. Also, after dark, have someone start the car while you observe under the hood for any arcing or sparking. Doing this at night allows you to see where trouble may be located. Let me know what you find. [email protected]

This is a simple problem to solve.
To replace the timing belt the mark on the camshaft pulley should be aligned with the engine block/valve cover and the mark on the crankshaft pulley should be aligned with the mark on the engine block.
The marks may be a white mark or an indentation.

When this is done one of the cylinders will be at TDC (Top Dead Center). In this position the ALL THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES IN THAT CYLINDER WILL BE CLOSED (compression stroke). Get the correct cylinder. Remove the spark plug in that cylinder. Back off the piston slightly and pack a length of a small diameter rope into the spark plug hole until full. Leave one end out for removal! Now when you turn the crankshaft nut the piston will push against the rope and the engine will not turn. You can get a manual from the library, auto supply shops or internet.

Some books suggests compressed air with a sparkplug adapter. That's elaborate and too noisy.

Make sure those marks are aligned on final assembly ! The valves will hit the pistons if not.

If the car was running great and then all of a sudden it started this problem and you did not change the timing belt. Then I would say its not your timing belt. Once a timing belt is on its stays timed until it breaks, unless it looses a tooth on the belt and at that point it would run really ruff all the time or not at all. If it cranks well and idles with a small skip but when you add gas it get worse. I would look at your fuel injectors and spark plugs and wires. start simple and work towards the big stuff. most of the time its simple like plugs and wires or gummed up injectors. Run some good injector cleaner as well. Hope this helps

according to a manual , the crank key will point to arrow , the intake cam should have an letter i aligned with arrow on belt cover and exhaust cam should have letter e aligned with arrow on belt cover , and as always rotate the engine 2 full turns to inspect timing marks before cranking or trying to start the engine . if you haven't taken the original belt off yet , paint your marks for quicker reference .

Don't know if the info will be there but

The manuals are there - check them out ...
Maybe radio removal is there ....
