Timing points 4 a 4g93 how to time up - Lancer Mitsubishi Cars & Trucks

To set the timing on a 2006 Dodge Charger with a 2.7-liter engine, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Locate the crankshaft pulley and the timing mark on the pulley. The timing mark is usually a notch or an indentation on the pulley that lines up with a reference point on the engine.
2. Remove the timing belt cover and locate the timing belt.
3. Rotate the crankshaft pulley until the timing mark on the pulley is aligned with the reference point on the engine.
4. Locate the camshaft sprocket and the timing mark on the sprocket. The timing mark is usually a notch or an indentation on the sprocket that lines up with a reference point on the engine.
5. Rotate the camshaft sprocket until the timing mark on the sprocket is aligned with the reference point on the engine.
6. Check that the timing marks on both the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets are aligned with their respective reference points.
7. If the timing marks are not aligned, loosen the bolts that hold the timing belt tensioner in place and rotate the tensioner to bring the timing marks into alignment.
8. Once the timing marks are aligned, tighten the bolts on the tensioner and replace the timing belt cover.

It is important to be careful when setting the timing on your vehicle as improper timing can cause serious damage to the engine. If you are unsure about any part of the process, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a professional mechanic.

is this a points distributor
place the timing mark at the desired position before tdc compression stroke ( normally around 10 degrees )
se the points to correct gap
turn on the ignition and move the distributor body against direction of rotation until the points just open ( noise or spark across points
tighten the distributor at this position
replace cap and it will start
alight when used will show the timing to be almost at that setting
if pointless distributor
set the timing mark as described and the set the apex of the exciter at the mark on the small pickup in the distributor
That again will be the timing mark setting
if it is an efi engine
the ecm unit will determine the timing of the engine from the crank position sensor

There are no timing marks....it's computer controlled.

Inside the distributor you have points , they have to be adjusted first .before you tune timing . inspect the points are they still in good condition or do they need to be replaced .

did you check the distributor see if the distributor rotor is on the right point? check distributer cap, if the timing is off that means the points are not synchronizing the points are THE TIMING POINTS ARE 1-PULLEY 2-TIMING CHAIN 3-DISTRIBUTOR.

generally speaking we look for 30 degrees dwell,but setting the point gap at 18 thousands of an inch work well,then adjust the timing. dwell changes timing but timing does not change dwell,so adjust the points first then set the timing

Hi Steven, I would think of replacing the the points (contact breaker) and condenser (capacitor) Theses are inside the distributor and revealed by removing the distributor cap. Remove the holding clips or screws (I don't remember which) and then lift off the cap and rotor arm. remove the cables connecting to the condenser and points. Remove both points and condenser and replace both and reconnect the electrical cables. Turn the engine by hand until the contact breaker is fully opened by one of the cam lobes on the center shaft and then adjust the gap to point four five millimeters. Rotate the engine again by hand until the points close and then with the ignition turned on but not cranking check you have spark by opening the points with a plastic tool. Once the spark is confirmed turn the engine to the timing marks (Please confirm ignition timing but I believe it is 6 degrees before Top Dead Center. Turn the engine so that the timing marks align at that setting and then set the points by loosening off the distributor body and rotating it so that the points are just about to open but are still closed. Tighten everything up and refit the rotor arm and cap and start the engine. For a more accurate setting of the distributor timing use a strobe timing light after initial start up. Always attend to the ignition timing before attempting any carburetor adjustment. Regards John

timing is way to slow. are points gap set properly. I think they are set at .016 for used points.
Fireing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4
with timing mark set at top dead center .i think it is a ball on back of engine. distributer rotor should be at #! .

to see all the timing componant you need to strip down the motor and remove the timing cover. The arrow on the crank gear points at an opposing arrow on the block, nomally located straight up, the arrow on the cam gear point/line up with the notch in the plastic housing that goes around the timing system.
