ok so today i brought my car in to get the timing adjusted cuz it was hard to start after its was warm.. he said he checked it b 4 he did anything and he said it read 0* and i told him to set it at 12* when i dropped it off.. he set it at 12* and he said it pinged like a bastard so he returned close to where it was but it does start now easier when it has been warm.. does anyone know why the ***** it would be at 0* and run?

i assume the tech actually verified that the balancer is good

That would be my first guess as well... balancer problem. I'm guessing that your "0 degrees" was actually closer to 10 degrees.

balancer problem? huh sry im only 19 im still learnign things

mattdel

the harmonic balancer is where the timing marks are. if the balancer is screwed up, it would give inaccurate readings.

luckythirteen13

that is correct. old balancers can become inaccurate

Your worried about the balancer? Be thankful its not that chunk of steel behind it.

I can relate to all the problems, its always something at times buts an 89, youre bound to have creaks, groans, pops, whistles, and whatever at some point. Stuffdoes tendto wear out after 18 years.Patience.

buy a timing gun and tune it yourself and stop moaning like a female

That second violin sounds a bit out of tune.
