Ok im stumped.. Been looking and i keep commng up with the same pictures. The crankshaft timing marks are 2 marks plus 1 above on the cover? and then on the crankshaft im looking for 2 marks with 3 off to the right of those ones? I went and got a timming light so i could time teh kids 1994 civic 1.5l and none of those marks are even close to being near the cover marks? If thats the case this cars timming is so far out it shouldent be running? or my timing light does now work properly with this car. THis is my style of light http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

Anyone have some good pics of what im looking for?

I also jumped teh 2 wire connection becide teh glovebox.. Im stumped

You could have the timing light hooked up to the wrong spark plug wire.

Or you could be looking at the wrong part of the crankshaft pulley.

Set the 1st cylinder to TDC and see where the marks are at. The timing marks should be lined up when at TDC.

ya thats what im thinking im looking at the wrong marks.. or even a bad timming light... the car runs perfect and has good pep for the timming tobe that far out...

Thats for the 88-91 civic/crx but it should give you a general idea of what you're looking for in regards to timing marks

yep looking at the wrong marks. that and someone pointed out that i may have a bad connecton with the jumper and to resolve any ecu codes first. and it was blinking something out i think it was 3 or 4 steady blinks and then check engine light went out
