Hi All
Just replaced points, condensor, rotor arm and cap on 2.2 petrol 3MB E engine and cant get the timing right!!
TDC doesnt work neither does 6 degrees....you can rest a coin on the rocker cover and it wont move but at the exhaust end it sounds like its occasionally misfiring??
At TDC its too advanced and wont switch off but goes like a rocket and at 6 its rough.
We've done it by ear but its still not right. Im not sure whether the pulley is original or the timing mark which is the later claw type is correct.
Theres a central control panel on the dash with cold start switch and the cold start light flickers on and off.....isnt cold start for a diesel engine??
Excuse the newbie questions but Im well.....a newbie to the series 3!!
Help!!!
