I dont know were to set the distributor at? zero?

or this , forum below , its free and they have DATA.
unlike here, we have zero data, just rumor , mostly.

ok, spark timing
in the USA? you never said,
Ill guess USA
in the USA open the hood, the sticker on the hood
under it, EPA regs. tells you valve lash too...
tells you the spark timing SPEC. clear as day.
by law here.
they sold G10 engines, or G13bb engines.
ok your other double posts shows the G13bb. ok.


be it Known all suzuki have DLC2 in the bay
from 1988 to 2002, for timing freeze,.
when they went to DIS spark, it ended. fact.
DIS means no timing possible by humans, by law.
here is the procedure on all G engines
distributor timed,spark.

read spec on hood, degree's before TDC BTDC,
Before means to the left if mark on scale,
the mark is on the crank pulley and the scale is on the timing belt cam cover.

hot engine.
Idle speed must be normal, most are 800RPM.
next , insert the timing freeze jumper or the job will be impossible. (unless timed with spark dead)
with this jumper in place in the DLC connector
the ECU freezes timing advance allowing you to set it. by moving the DISTRIBUTOR base.
that is it. after tightening the dist. base bolt
and removing the jumper.
end.
now you know....

I got more.
5Deg BTDC is usa spec. seen under hood sticker.
A.C off, defrost off, PS not overloaded, all accessories off.

the only hard part is identifying, the 2 pins in DLC2, the online fsm schematic skips these 2 wires
and colors.
cavity 4/5 (that is ground on DLC1) but not on DLC2
under hood the pins are unique and some have 4 pins others 6. sadly

pin 4 and 5
or C and D
are the 2 class pins for timing freeze
the 4/5 is 6pin
the C/D is 4 pin conn.

Bring cyl #1 up to top dead on the compression stroke. Line up crank pulley timing mark up to zero on the timing indicator. Line up the rotor on the distributor to point to #1 on the rotor cap. Put distributor in slowly making sure you pick up the oil pump shaft while engaging the cam gear. If the oil pump shaft doesn't doesn't line up the distributor will not drop all the way in. Now but mount bolt back in but do not tighten. Hook up timing lite, start engine and move distributor to line up the correct timing mark then tighten distributor mount bolt.

old post

set?

time it?
or install it

set means zero to me...(tell the story first?)
no matter
all

According to the book, you are supposed to mark the rotor on the distributor before removal and then put it back in place. If the crank has been moved, you align the mark on the crank damper with zero on the timing cover when the number one cylinder is at TDC. Then put the distributor in so that the rotor is pointing to the number one plug wire. It does not say anything about using a timing light.
You may want to check out a repair book in an auto parts store to get the details.

Are all the wires going to the right cylinder? if yes....Did you mark the gearing/rotor location before removing? You may have thrown off the timing for the distributor. If this is the case, Remove the distributor and set the engine to TDC (top dead center). This can be done by spinning the crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer twice clockwise until the marking on the pulley and timing cover is set to "0/Zero" Once set at TDC, set the distributor (cap must be removed) to TDC/Cylinder 1.

Set the engine to the number one compression,and bring the timing mark to zero on the harmonic balancer.(or just bring the timing on the harmonic to zero). mark to match the plug wires to cap,remove the cap.(if you can remove the cap without removing plug wire) mark the rotor position to the engine using a scribe, mark the rotor to the distributor, mark the distributor to the engine using a scribe,Take the lock down bolt out and pull out distributor. when you reinstall line up all your marking and check timing.

Top dead center:*Set breaker point gap from .018 to .022*Bring #1 piston to "Top Dead Center"*The zero "D-C" mark on the vibration damper must be aligned with the timing indicator/pointer*Rotate distributor until points begin to open slightly, then tighten distributor*Start engine & allow to reach normal operating temperature*Set warm idle at 475 RPM*Use timing light to verify that the zero "D-C" mark on the vibration damper is in alignment with the timing indicator/pointer

First clean the balancer and find the timing mark, mark it clearly with a chalk ,or crayon, or liquid paper, 10 degrees BTDC. Get the engine warm, now remove the timing connector ( Its a little gray plastic connector near the distributor, its 2 pins) disconnect that , then start the engine and set the timing. Tighten the distributor, Check it again, if ok, turn eng off and reconnect the timing connector. you are done.

These vehicles have to have the timing set while hooked up to a diagnostic computer as they are self setting once they have been zeroed with the diag, computer. if you try to set it on your own you will just be fighting the vehicles control module (computer) 

a diagram will help but let me give you a hint you dont need the diagram, once you remove the cover you will see 3 gears the top is the cam gear and if you look at the gear pulley there is a small hole set this at twelve o clock position, the distributor gear which is the middle one should be set in such a way that the rotor of the distributor alighn with number one on the dist cap and the third the last should be set to align the timing mark on the bell housing of the transmission and set it to zero, instal the belt and the car will run fine
