Timing is set when engine is built. timing can be adjusted by turning the distributor to fine tune it. The marks are on the crank pulley. If you clean it up a bit before you start they may be easier to see. It would be exponentially helpful if you had provided model and engine.


There are more than one 1990 Honda engines. Civic, Si, Accord, Prelude, Then there are also a multitude of small engines like generators and motorcycles.

I guess I should just be able to guess what engine you need help with.

I think that you have to ground the blue wire from the harness to check the timing with AC off if it is a Civic with a d15 engine. Engine should go through three cycles of the cooling fan on and off to be sure it is properly heated for tuning. You can also bleed the air from the coolant after that third cycle which will help keep your idle correct since it is partially controlled by coolant temperature. There is a small bleeder valve on the water neck in most of those models if it is a civic.

Good luck.

SOURCE: 2000 honda ..... timing belt replacement

hi i have a diagram of it here and as far as i can see the marks on the twin cams are actually aligned with the top of the cover edge there should be an arrow on each cam pulley, that is pointing upwards, and you should have 2 marks either side horizontal and line up with the cover , the bottom crank pulley has a v cut out which lines up with a mark which is a angled line on the engine cover my picture may be different from your one if you want you can email me i will send you it so you compare it to your one

Need to know how to set the timing on a 1990 honda accord ex

Pop out the spark plug in number 1 cylinder. Drop a long 1/4" drive extension in the cylinder. Turn the crankshaft until the timing mark on the crank pulley meets "0" and the extension is at it's highest point of travel. This is your correct crank position for timing. Pop the cover off and find the indentation or arrow on the outside front of the cam sprocket and align it with the corresponding mark on the head or cam cap. If you're only talking about using a timing light, then lossen the distributor bolt at it's base and turn the distributor until the mark is at 0. Engine must be at normal operating temp.

How to set timing belt on a 1985 Honda Accord

You need a timing light.
Hook up the timing light (follow it's instructions)
Warm the car, find the timing marks using the light.
Loosen the distributor and bump it forward or back, whichever corrects your timing.
The honda has three timing marks. I found it useful to dab some white out on the marks to make them easy to see.

I cant find my timing marks for my 1990 honda accord lx because the cover is slightly woren but are the timing marks on the cover or engraved in the metal? this is for the crank shaft.

The 1990-1993 accord timing marks are located in the space between the engine and transmission. There is a rectangular rubber plug, at the top, front of the transmission housing, that pulls out and the timing marks are visible(with a timing light) through that access hole.

Need the rite timing marks for a 1990 honda civic 1.5 engine

On the cam shaft gear there are two "-" marks on either side of the gear along with the word "Up" stamped on the gear. Turn the crankshaft so that the word "up" is on top and line the "-" marks up with the cylender head. On the pulley of the drive shaft there are two seets of marks one set of three that looks like "lll" and one set about an inch to the right of these that looks like "l l" the "l l" needs to be lined up with the timing marks on the lower timing belt cover.
