I borrowed a timing light today to check the distributor timing. I took off the airbox and let the car warm up. I then unplugged the coolant sensor and moved the distributor unitl the mark on the flywheel read 12 degrees. I then plugged in the sensor, and turned off the car. I tightened up the distributor and started up the car, it was running real rough....
What did I do wrong?????
We just finished doing a headgasket swap this week and I took the car to university today, etc. It has a miss at idle (much more noticeable then before)and it takes a few more cranks before it starts....
any help would be great!!
thanks
