I just installed a new timing belt, idler & tensioner pulleys, crank, oil pump, & cam seals, valve cover gasket and spark plug tube grommets, front motor mount, accessory belts, distributor cap & rotor, wires, and spark plugs. I confirmed several times that I had the timing marks on the crankshaft and cam pulley correct. Pulling the motor over by hand and confirming that the marks lined back up again). I pulled the distributor cap and confirmed that the rotor was pointing at cylinder #1 when the marks were aligned. I also checked that the piston in cylinder #1 was at TDC with a long length or aluminium tubing.
It starts just fine and runs great, except at idle when in gear. It has a very definite shake that goes away when I give it a little throttle. I also put the emergency brake on and put it in drive so I could visualize the motor, and the motor doesn't appear to be moving much.
Question: Assuming that I have the timing marks on the cam and crank correct, do I need to adjust the timing by moving the distributor? Advance or retard?
Thanks for the help in previous threads..I would not be this far without it!!
