93 Accord, recently swapped a junkyard F22A1, and it ran great be for a while.
One day I went to start it, and it wouldn't start.
Replaced spark plugs, wires, injectors, igniter. Finally got it to start, but only with the distributor turned as far counterclockwise as possible.
This made me think that my timing belt maybe skipped a tooth. Pulled the upper timing cover, and tried to set the #1 piston to TDC, but realized this motor doesn't have a pointer on the lower cover, or any marks on the crank pulley. So I pulled the #1 spark plug, and used the dipstick to eye TDC, and i checked the flywheel mark and the pointer was right on the 15° mark. The cam marks were where they are supposed to be, which leads me to believe that the timing did not jump a tooth. I'm at a loss now, and don't know what to do.
If the flywheel is right on the 15° mark, is that not TDC? How do I set the #1 piston to the proper TDC without the crank pulley marks?
