need to check static and dynamic timing of the engine!!
when was last time u did a timing belt change?
static timing is the initial set up of the belt to the cam and crank and inj pump w/ it locked down
dynamic timing is checked while running w/ scan tool
the reason why i ask is that the timing is different setting when cold and the quantity adjuster is either too much open or too little open causing driveability problems
timing is very critical !!!!
THE Q ADJUSTER IS INTERGRATED W/ THE INJECTOR PUMP!!!
I DO UNDERSTAND THAT U HAVE A STARTING ISSUE ONLY !!!
TIMING MUST BE CHECKED FIRST !!!
WHEN COLD IF TIMING IS OFF ON THE RICH SIDE YES LONG CRANK THEN RUNS SMOKE OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE
THE TIMING OF INJECTION VERY CRITICAL!!!
FUEL LINE AIR LEAK IS POSSIBLE!!!
IF A CAR HAS A STARTING PROBLEM IN MY SHOP THEN TIMING GETS CHECKED FIRST!!!! NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS
PLEASE PRESS THE GREEN ACCEPT BUTTON FOR THE CONSULTATION GIVEN
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK!!

I have the tools to set the camshaft and fuel distributor timing. Do I also need electrical tools to change or modify a computer setting?
Thanks
