slow gs

[Jared Balow]

it was pulled from a runnin car, and apparently ran well while in the integra. we swapped the whole motor and trans. how would i check something like that, would i have to bring it somewhere, and do u think that would be exspensive.

I would start with the timing like nick said earlier. I had the timing set by ear/feel on Megan's CRX earlier this summer and it ran 2 seconds slower at the track. Turns out it was off by 2.5 degrees. Use a timing light.

No offense but you did a motor swap and you don't know what a timing light is or how to use it? Cam gears could possibly be off if its that far down on power.

yeah...how does that work....you swapped a motor...but yet you still dont know half the shit about motors ??

sorry ive never heard of a timing light. i didnt go to school for this and no one has ever mentioned one before. thats why im asking for help, if i knew everything i wouldnt ask. thanks for all your help though

A timing light either uses induction to detect voltage through the #1 spark plug wire, or it hooks up to the distributor. You disable the ECU's control over the timing, loosen the distributor just enough to rotate it, locate the timing marks on the engine and crank pulley, run the engine, point the light at the timing marks, and squeeze the trigger. Then you rotate the distributor very slightly until the timing is set where you want it.
