dakotart Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 My 2000 Honda Civic started misfiring. Has a code for each cylinder plus a P1399 I replaced the dist cap and rotor and have same issue. Pulled the top timing cover off and rotated the motor counter clockwise from the crank pulley until the top pulley timing marks were lined up. The crank appears to not be lined up. Can anyone confirm that I'm seeing this correctly? If so, then it jumped timing. This belt was put on about 40k miles ago and has been good until Monday. Anything I should check to figure out why it jumped timing? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/junkaddress000/d7356f0a-856b-450c-a050-2d5cfba1a331.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/junkaddress000/6d331071-551b-41d9-ae4f-3d3b7eb1ff75.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/junkaddress000/IMG_20151125_182936.jpg Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm not positive on the crank marks on a Honda, but given the codes and pictures I'd be lining that up and trying again. All signs point to the crank jumped a tooth or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93 RX-7 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 When you rotated the crank was it clockwise or counterclockwise? It will affect the slack in the belt. Don't know if it would be enough to cause that much offset or not. If that's not it check water pump and tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakotart Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Took off the timing belt today to put on a new kit and decided to do the valve stem seals to try and fix an oil burn issue. Found 3 valves that are sticking and may be bent and 1 that is definitely bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
