Your crankshaft turns 2x times the camshaft. Put it this way as # 1 cylinder reaches TDC (top dead center) of the firing/compression stroke, and this will be after a (8 degs BTDC) spark to ignite the air/fuel mix, the # 3 cyl. will be at BDC of the intake stroke and as #1 begins its power down stroke, (during explosion of air/fuel mix), #3 begins its compression up stroke, the #4 cyl. will be coming down with #1 cyl. but #4 will be in the beginning of its intake down stroke, and #2 cyl. will be coming up with #3 but #2will be in its BDC of the exhaust stroke. Which has just fired previously to #1. 1342134213421342 etc. Now the cam turns to open / close the valves; In the outline above, #1 cyl. valves will both be closed. #3 cyl. will have the intake starting to close at this point. #4 cyl. will just be starting to open its intake valve, and #2 will be starting to open its exhaust valve. Is all this clear as mud? So as the crank makes one full rotation (in a 4cyl. engine) only the firing of one cylinder has happened.and at every rotation one cyl. will fire. So #1 at TDC then one full rotation, #1 back at TDC, but this TDC is half of its 4 cycles, (1)Intake, (2)compression, (3)power, (4)exhaust. this 1234 refers to the 4 cycles of the rotation not firing order.

Good day,I have lancer 95 efi.I am having trouble with the timing of crank and cam. I need specific steps to get it to start without misfires. my crank sprocket is already pointing to its mark.

Did you check the spark plug cables? Are the spark plug cables are in proper firing order? Check the cable for slight
crack or sliced. For firing orders of the cable, example are
1342, 1432 etc. Better refer to your car manual. It is difficult
start without misfires if cable or sequence has a problem.

How to put back spark plug wires to a 92 honda accord

the easiest way is to do one at a time when working with plugs or wires.but if you don`t then cylinder 1 is on the end of the motor were the pulleys are then 2,3,4.this i think is a distributer system so the cap is usually marked were cylinder 1`s wire is installed.then you have to see which way the distributer rotates.then the next wire to #1 in the direction the distributer rotates will be the next wire in the firing order.the firing order is 1342.

Backfire through engine on 1992 olds silhouette when hitting the gas pedal fast

The mechanic should check on the distributor assembly and the spark plug ,spark plug cable. You should set first the distributor shaft rotate it counter clock wise or clock wise . according to the way you will set the spark plug to connect on the distributor assembly. If the timing will be 1342 there for the timing on the shaft should be set at the 1st spark plug and spark plug cable. When you hit the gas pedal it will back fire because of the distributor assembly and the spark plug is not set on timing or proper timing for compression.
