21mm crankshaft bolt was loose tightened it but still runs the same should I do a compression test?

Already checked timing that is correct too.

Timing looks good too.1441558284075-369483794.jpg1441558284075-369483794.jpg

Compression test 95,100,95,102

The timing looks good? When you have #1 plug out and the piston is for sure exactly at top dead center then the cam gear should look like that. The crank marks mean nothing if the bolt was loose.

checked cyl one tdc everything is align. Thinking it is weak spark got fuel compression and timing. Tested distributor. Tested fuel pressure. Coil is sparking, but doesn't look as good as it could be. Its intermittent at times or I just cant see it very well in the sunlight. Going to pull a new coil Tuesday and try. Based on what it looks to me it is spark that I am not getting enough of.

That balancer - hub - key could be tricky, cross check things. Also, the rotor may be on wrong? Trying to justify the disty being clear to the end of the slot to run.

Checked distributor as well. Tdc on compression rotor is on cyl 1 used distributor testor to verify it is sending signal at the ignition time and it is. Thinking it is the coil. If it is I will be relieved and upset for checking everything,but it is nice knowing all the timi g is correct. Can't a bad coil make it so I would have to set the ignition timing back a few degrees as in turning the distributor clockwise until it stops?

your compression is too low. cam timing way off or internal.

[Movin]

A bad coil will miss, run poor, start hard but adjusting timing from spec will not help more than it would any other time.

did you do a oil added compression test ?

No I did not

either ignition coil is fine or I have two bad coils. What psi is the fuel rail supposed to be at? i have 40psi.

[Movin]

40 is good.

[Meepersly]

Injectors are working as well I checked those.

[Meepersly]

Guess I'll check timing again hopefully I can find out what the problem is.

Rock the engine back and forth with a dowel on the #1 piston, do not bother looking at any timing marks. Mark a spot on the dowel where the piston starts to move down. Verify you can repeat this spot on both sides of top dead center. Now mark the lower pulley at both sides of top center where the mark on the dowel is. Of course mark a index on the block for these 2 pulley marks to line up with. When you are sure the two marks are accurate with your dowel mark measure exactly between these two marks on the lower pulley and make a 3rd mark. This third mark when lined up with the index will be TDC. When I ask you if you used the piston to get TDC, I assume you have done the above. If the crank normal timing marks and cam do not line up at piston TDC you have found a timing problem!

If you did all that sorry, just making sure we are on the same page!
