ok so I ave reinstalled my motor and everything except for the muffler. I set the timing to TDC at the crank and cam and have setthe distrubuter to the line (mark) under the cap. This is the right line under the cap right? I manually removed the distrubuter and turned the rotor to the line, right? But I am not sure what order to attach the spark plug wires. I am assuming that they should be in order of fire, 1 3 4 2 but where do I start? I put 1 at the rotor and continued round 1342. Car turns over and backfires (like gun shot BANG) but really doesnt even chug just over and over and over. Is the distrubuter and wres set up correctly.?????????????

Also, the four wire under the throttle body, throttle sensors, my labels are two faded and i cannot remeber what order they go in. Can someone please check their car for me. Thanks

Last, does anybody have a post 80 throttle body, the ones that are round rather than oval for a turbo 924.

Again, thanks very much for your helop guys, you havent let me down yet.

Mike

Check the flywheel tdc mark against the front crank pulley tdc mark. If they don't both line up at the same time, that's the problem. -And you'd have to disregard the flywheel mark and use the front pulley mark to re-install the timing belt.

What you're doing with the distributor is correct - 1-3-4-2 (clockwise rotation as viewed from the top), set rotor at 1 while cam and crank are at tdc...

can you guys clarify what 180 degrees out is, and how I set the distrubuter rotor to 1.
thanks[/quote]

Cylinders are numbered 1-4 from front to rear. When both the crank and cam are at TDC (when the timing marks are lined-up, you're at TDC for cyl 1), you want the rotor to be pointed at the dist cap post for the plug wire that goes to cyl 1.
