Is it a dual cam engine? If so make sure can gear marks are aligned. Verify distributor is installed correctly set firing order is correct.only two things cause backfiring. Incorrect timing or incorrect plug wire position at distributor cap

SOURCE: Timing marks on 1999 Ford Ranger 2.5L.

Rotate the engine so that No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. Check that the timing marks are aligned on the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys. An access plug is provided in the cam belt cover so that the camshaft timing can be checked without removal of the cover or any other parts. Set the crankshaft to TDC by aligning the timing mark on the crank pulley with the TDC mark on the belt cover. Look through the access hole in the belt cover to make sure that the timing mark on the cam drive sprocket is lined up with the pointer on the inner belt cover.

  1. Loosen the alternator retaining bolts and remove the drive belt from the pulleys. Remove the water pump pulley.
  2. Loosen and position the power steering pump mounting bracket and position it aside.
  3. Remove the four timing belt outer cover retaining bolts and remove the cover. Remove the crankshaft pulley and belt guide.
  4. Loosen the belt tensioner pulley assembly, then position a camshaft belt adjuster tool (T74P-6254-A or equivalent) on the tension spring rollpin and retract the belt tensioner away from the timing belt. Tighten the adjustment bolt to lock the tensioner in the retracted position.
  5. Remove the timing belt.

To install:
  1. Install the new belt over the crankshaft sprocket and then counterclockwise over the auxiliary and camshaft sprockets, making sure the lugs on the belt properly engage the sprocket teeth on the pulleys. Be careful not to rotate the pulleys when installing the belt.
  2. Release the timing belt tensioner pulley, allowing the tensioner to take up the belt slack. If the spring does not have enough tension to move the roller against the belt (belt hangs loose), it might be necessary to manually push the roller against the belt and tighten the bolt.

The spring cannot be used to set belt tension; a wrench must be used on the tensioner assembly.
  1. Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns by hand (in the normal direction of rotation) to remove the slack from the belt, then tighten the tensioner adjustment and pivot bolts to specifications. Refer to the necessary illustrations. Make sure the belt is seated properly on the pulleys and that the timing marks are still in alignment when No. 1 cylinder is again at TDC/compression.
  2. Install the crankshaft pulley and belt guide.
  3. Install the timing belt cover.
  4. Install the water pump pulley and fan blades. Install upper radiator hose if necessary. Refill the cooling system.
  5. Position the alternator and drive belts, then adjust and tighten it to specifications.
  6. Start the engine and check the ignition timing. Adjust the timing, if necessary.

SOURCE: 91 toyota celica 5s-fe engine hard start

if it ran fine before belt change, you maybe off a tooth,I've been off a tooth with same engine had same symptoms along with erratic acceleration and poor gas mileage. Took off top cover, lined up no.1 tdc. and I was off 1 tooth at camshaft hole. was able to adjust without dismanteling everything. Loosen idler and you can get enough play to turn cam one cog. hope this helps.

Crank Sensor is the likely issue. It does not throw a code. Key indicator is the call stalls all the time. R&R sensor.

What causes the 22re to pop and backfire when trying to accelerate?

Check and adjust ignition timing first. Next if you have an overhead cam check the valve timing as it may be out a tooth

Disturbed timing...need info on resetting non-adjustable timing.

Sounds like your off just one tooth, try pulling up dist. and back it up one tooth( counter clockwise) and try it again. When you reinstall the dist. it always goes in just before #1 not right on #1. Your in the ball park.

Low idle/stalling with new timing belt on 1999 Honda CR-v

The engine is a twin cam, one of the cams is not lined up properly. Obiviously the car was running fine before the t/belt replacement, Something the mechanic did is the cause. It is very common with this engine for this to happen. The timing belt covers need to be removed, and the cam gear alignment needs to be checked. Both cam gears have an "UP" mark at the top, and slash marks that should be level with the head when on TDC. If all the marks are lined up, I would have them perform a cylinder leakdown check to see if there are any bent valves. Another way to check the valves is to remove the valve cover and check for very loose valve adjustment. If any valves are bent they won't close all the way causing a gap in the adjustment, and poor performance. Unfortunately the dealership should have found this right away. If I remember correctly the rear cam is off one tooth, retarding the cam timing.
Let me know what they find, Honda Al
