Ignition timing is the process of setting the angle relative to piston
position and crankshaft angular velocity that a spark will occur in the combustion chamber near the end of
the compression stroke.
Engines will use an electric
spark that ignites the
fuel/air mixture that
propels the car.
This involves the engine
ignition and when the
spark plugs “fire”, it
literally creates a spark in
the combustion chamber
to release energy
Slightest mistakes in
timing & engine will not run
properly
Any kind of interference in the cam timing
results in collision of piston & valves
Backfiring
. Check the mounting bolt.
• Check the engine .
• Faulty ignition coil.
• Check if the points are correctly set and
are in good condition.
Engine stops at speeds
. Distributor cap is cracked.
• Check the rotor.
• Faulty ignition coil.
• Check if the points are correctly set and
are in good condition.
Knocking
• It is caused by a condition named detonation.
• Check the spark plugs.• Check the distributor cap & rotor.• Check the ignition timing & replace the
worn components.
Dieseling
• Engine idle speed set to high &
overheating.
• Incorrect ignition timing
• Check if the distributor is mounted
securely to the engine.
Engine stops at idle
• Spark plug does not fire.
• Ignition timing set incorrectly.
• Distributor worn due to excessive
movement in the distributor shaft so
unable to set the timing correctly.
Symptoms to change a timing belt:-
Exhaust & Timing Belt Problems
Engine start problem between 2000 to 4000 RPM due to loose timing belt
Starting & Running Problem
The exhaust & intake valves movement should function at the right
time
The timing of all the individual components causes the problem
Loose Teeth
Change your timing belt for every 60,000miles to 110,000miles
Refer car manual for advice
about mileage
• Know your car if needs adjustment or not
• Grasp the Ignition Cycle
• Know the Ignition timing number
• Connect your timing light & check vacuum timing
• Ask a helper to accelerate your engine
• Concentrate on harmonic balancer and find the number
• Loosen the bolt of distributor & turn in one direction
• Align the timing marks & set where you want in between 34 & 36 degrees
• Tighten the distributor bolt when finished
