recently my cam shaft broke ugh so i replaced it now my car wont turn over pretty sure its a timing problem since i also tried to change my timing belt and learned no way in hell getting the cranksaft pulley off without a special tool or air gun so my timing arkers on the pulley are off i have a 93 honda civic hatchbach dx 1.5 liter engine and not clear on what marker on the crankshaFT PULLEY IM SUPPOSE TO LINE UP WITH THERES THREE NOTCHES IN A ROW MARKED ON THE PULLEY THEN THERES A SINGLE NOTCH FURTHER TO THE RIGHT HAVE BEEN USING A CHILTONS BOOK TO DO THE WORK AND IT SAYS IM SUPPOSE TO HAVE A COLOR MARK ON THE PULLEY FOR WHERE ITS SUPPOSE TO LINE UP BUT I DONT HAVE IT AND IT HAS CONFLICTING INFORMATION ON TO WHICH MARKER IS SUPPOSE TO BE LINED UP? I HAVE A D16B7 ENGINE I BELIEVE AND CANT GET MY CAR TO TURN OVER I ALSO NOTICED WHEN I CHECKED MY DISTRIBUTOR THE LIL LOOSE SPRING THAT GOES FROM THE DISTRIBUTER TO THE DISTRIBUTER CAP I BENT IT DOH AND AM NOT SURE IF THAT HAS AN EFFECT ON THE STARTING OF THE CAR? I LINED UP I THINK PRETTY GOOD THE MIDDLE OF THE THREE NOTCHES ON THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY WITH THE MARKER ON THE TIMING BELT COVER CAR ALMOST STARTED HAVE TO WAIT TILL MORNING TO TRY AGIAN ANY HELP WOULD BE OF GREAT APPRECIATION
