Timing
97 civic. I pulled the distributor out to repair heater hose underneath it. Put distributor back in and car won’t run unless I leave the bolts out and advance it past the slots. What could have happened?

Re: Timing
So if you put it back in the exact same spot it was in before it won't run (assuming you marked it before removal)?

Re: Timing
Are you sure you're not 180* out?

Distributor only goes in one way, not sure how it’s possible
