Hi, I needed to replace my distributor due to wear / tear and it threw a code after it started to slightly misfire after driving for a while and the engine reached full temp. Code 211 or 221, can't remember.
What I forgot to due was mark where #1 pointed when I replaced the dist with a new one. I followed the steps to find the TDC using the compression in cylinder no 1 in relevance to the TDC marker on the crank shaft. I have a few questions:
Once TDC compression is found in #1 cylinder, does the #1 cylinder pointer on the rotor face directly towards the back of the engine or is it off by a few degrees to the right? (when looking at the dist from front of engine). Service manual says it points to the rear of the engine and not off by 30 deg to the right or so (see pic).
When marking where TDC is, do you use the marker on the crank of ATC or the 0 between 10 deg before and after TDC (see pic)?
Thanks!
