How to set the timing and firing order for a 95 dodge spirit 3.0L?

I helped a friend change his water pump and when it was time to put the belt back on (after lunch) I noticed that the markings on the pulleys were not in the right spot. How do you set the timing? Where are the marks suppose to be and any pictures would help? thank you so much, greatly appriciated.How to set the timing and firing order for a 95 dodge spirit 3.0L?There are 2 timing marks, - one on camshaft pulley, and one on the crank pulley, - they must both point to center on top of pulley-- this %26quot;center%26quot; lines up with crank and cam pulleys (centers)-- if you were to run a streight edge all the way up from top to bottom , - (is not streight up)! So you pull cover off bottom again so that you can see the pulleys(%26amp; loosen idler pulley-- after you have crank at tdc)-- If you didn't turn the crank or camshaft a lot, it shouild be close to right place, so you can loosen idler pulley, and slip belt over a notch at a time till you have camshaft pulley turned up to line up with crank pulley. Getting timing right will be %26quot;automatic%26quot;,-- if you get the timing marks lined up right! Reason I say you can %26quot;roll one of the two pulleys%26quot; into place without turning ( have to turn one completely over a whole revolution!)!, - is that if you did not intentionally turn crank or cam, it will not have moved more than maybe 3-4 teeth (from spring tension on valves-- possibly being off center might make it roll down to release presure from spring)! I must tell you it is very hard to get the camshaft pulley exactly lined up on some cars, as they did not put timing mark where you can see it easily-- on later models I guess they figured it out! I had problems on my 93' Acclain (with basically same engine)-- I bought it with engine timed one tooth off on camshaft pulley, - After changing warterpump, thermostat and radiator (radiator off another car I had)-- pump was leaking so it needed it, - but engine still ran too hot, after it blew heqadgasket, - I pulled it apart and cleaned up and put new gasket in, -- and put timing in order with valve cover off, (to see if it was in time and would run. -- and discovered that it was running one tooth off (easily seen with valve cover off), - when I got done, it has run %26quot;cool as a cucumber%26quot; ever since%26quot;!



Note,-- If you did not mess with distributer, it will still be in time, (and you don't need to worry about timing it,) - %26amp; firing order, -will still be right! You can also pull cap off distributer, and look at the rotor, - when it points to #1 spark plug wire positon on cap, it is near tdc! After pulley loosened, you can slip belt over till the bottom one lines up with it! #1cylijder is the one at front of engine which is the pasenger side (where pulleys drive accesories)-- since engine is in %26quot;crossways%26quot;! You could go to library and see how it is set up, - or if you already have a manual it is in there, - if not,--- go buy a %26quot;Haynes Auto Repair%26quot; manual -- available at most %26quot;better%26quot; auto parts supply houses, - (I iget mine at AutoZone)! -- Cost is $20 or less, - and is a total repair manual which has information and illustrations for fixing everyhing except the transmission! Just get for your year and model (the manual # is.. 30060) - covers 89 through 95 models -- both Dodge %26amp; Plymouth! -- Don't settle for Chiltons, -- (it is second best)!!



I have only been fixing cars since 1952, - so I still buy a manual every time aI buy a car!How to set the timing and firing order for a 95 dodge spirit 3.0L?buy a chilton or haynes book or if u know where marks are 2 be u need to turn all components at the same time to avoid valve damage atleast crank and cam at same timeHow to set the timing and firing order for a 95 dodge spirit 3.0L?LOL You want to change the firing order?!?How to set the timing and firing order for a 95 dodge spirit 3.0L?You cannot change the firing order, that is a set thing. You can buy a haynes or chilton manual and look it up or online. If your car has a distributor, you loosen it and spin it either clockwise or counterclockwise. You can either use a timing light, or just do it until it sounds %26quot;about%26quot; right :) i'd recommend using a timing light. if it uses a coil pack, timing is set by the computer.How to set the timing and firing order for a 95 dodge spirit 3.0L?http://autorepair.about.com/library/firi

here is a firing order not for your car but to show you how it is read.... look on the intake manifold you might have to wire brush dirt and grease from the place.. this is cast on the intake manifold.. changing the water pump you did not alter the engine timing.. the belts will be different they turn the pump the engine timing belt is inside the metal piece above the large pully and the bottom on the end of the crank shaft. ok.. the motor should start .. you did not alter the engine timing.ok.. gilermo
