Im doing tdc by doing the finger over the #1 spark plug hole and feeling for air. Did that, and made sure the pointer on the balancer was at 0 then dropped distributor in and made sure rotor is pointed to #1. Start her up but she doesnt run right and wont stay started unless i stay on the throttle....even then still doesnt sound right running. Thats that part.<br /><br />Now, i also have yet to adjust the idle, tps, and adjust the fpr. <br /><br />Do you think the idle / rough running could be related to that, or is it the timing perhaps? Input appreciated. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>fredfifty</b> <br /><small>Member # 10320</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2018,6,16,10,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Also ran codes...got 10-67-11<br /><br />My nss is not hooked up, hence the 67, as far as i know, that doesnt affect engine performance...? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Martinna</b> <br /><small>Member # 12493</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2018,6,16,11,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Read this to put in a new distributor. <a href="http://sbftech.com/index.php?topic=7114.0" target="_blank">http://sbftech.com/index.php?topic=7114.0</a><br /> <img src="http://info.efidynotuning.com/distributor%20install.JPG" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /><br /><br /><br />Is 10 a valid code or did you misread it? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>fredfifty</b> <br /><small>Member # 10320</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2018,6,16,12,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i guess 10 is a spacer code.<br /><br />my problem is that I cant bring the motor up to operating temps because it wont stay running unless I stay on the accelerator...im wondering if it has to do with my tps/idle/fpr not adjusted properly? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Martinna</b> <br /><small>Member # 12493</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2018,6,16,13,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Does your timing light read zero or ten degrees?
