I have a 86 range rover classic with a 3.5lt fuel injected.

I have not been able to time it correctly. The timing is way off. I have lined up the distributor according to workshop manual turning the distributor will not allow me to set the initial timing. its way off 50+ degrees.

I have check air gap, done tune-up all the works but the timing is killing me.

Thanks for the help

 

I would double check your timing set up. remove #1 sparkplug, rotate crankshaft untill the TDC mark on the front crank pulley lines up with the pointer. #1 piston should be at the top of its stroke, now ensure that the dist rotor is pointing near the #1 terminal on the cap. If its not close you will have to re-index the distributor untill it is. then you should be able to set the timing. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks lrobin!

This did help. My car seems to stutter between about 1500 - 2200 rpm. At full throttle it evens out.

Could this be the TPS or still a timing issue?

Thanks
