Hi Atsy,
I'd believe that the problem could be a bent distributor cam shaft (The center shaft inside the distributor.
Have it checked and if I've been a clever boy you can give me a rating

HI, did you try checking the ignition coils. I had the same problem in my car I replace the one ignition coil where there was no power and that solve the problem. try not to buy cheap ones those will blow fast. you can find the Bosh original ones in the internet for a fare price. today at the dealer are about $212.00 each.

Unfortunately, your question is very vague and hard to understand.

16 or 32 cam?
Usually your engine will have twin cams, or single cam.
Overhead cam(s) or not. You could determine if your engine
is a 4 or a 6 cylinder, and then you will generally find out how
many valves the engine has.

If you are in a 4 cylinder car, you probably have 16 valves if you have a twin cam engine.
If you have a single cam, 4 cylinder engine, then you will usually have only 8 valves.

The only way that you could end up with 32 valves, is if you have a dual overhead cam, v-6 engine.
Each head will have two cams, and each cylinder will have 4 valves then.

I hope that this is what you were trying to ask. :)

My sincere apologies for the delayed response.
I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions.
I do not know if you have the 1.6L or 2.0L Engine or if your engine has the Overhead Cam or not. I have included all the Diagrams below.

For the 1.6L:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1.....2.....3.....4
(front of engine)
Distributor:
(back)
..(+)-screw
............2
1
.................4
........3
...............(+)-screw
(front)

For the 2.0L WITHOUT the Overhead Cam:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1......2......3......4
(front of engine)
Distributor:
......(back)
........4
2..........(+)-screw
(+)..........3
......1
....(front)

For the 2.0L WITH the Overhead Cam:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1......2.....3......4
(front of engine)
Ignition Connections:
........(back)
...o <---4
......o <---1
...............
.......o <----3
..........o <----2
.........(front)

Again my apologies...
Let me know if this helped...

This engine is timed at t.d.c.. With the crank at 0 degrees you will start with your intake cam. this cam is hollow and advances( it actually moves to the right after 2500 rpm ) because it has a distributerless ign.. The timing marks for the cams are holes in the back of the gear flange where you can put a small 3 or 4mm. punch through the back of the flange resting the punch on the top of the head. the hole will be to your right on the intake and to your left on the exhaust( outside towards the manifold) When you get the intake cam timed hold the cam and turn the gear to the left as far as you can( if you look at the top of the advancer you can see the mechanism resting against the housing) If you do not the cam will over advance and hit a piston. Time the exhaust cam and put in your tensioner( I always reset the tensioner by knocking out the insert and starting it at the first detent( replace if possible). turn the engine around by hand and double check your marks you may have to move one of your cams a tooth to the left or right. Good luck

hello,you have a 300 se with 103 engine (straight 6 cylinder) we have two possible cause of the problem,fuel and ignition side,on workshop they have a fuel gauge to check the fuel pressure (filter,fuel pump,fuel pimp relay) on fuel side,then for ignition spare plug,distributor cap, rotor,switching unit (transistor box for ignition side,ok, when your engine stop,try to hear from the rear,if your fuel pump motor is working,or you can remove your spare plug to determine what is missing fuel or ignition,ty

hello,your firing order 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2,,,standing in front,left side of your engine is your cylinder 1 to 4,remove your valve cover then rotate your crankshaft,using 27mm socket,observe the movement of camshaft,and look for the timing mark in crankshaft,(ot) then you can install your high tension wire,begin on cylinder number 1,ty
