CRX bad timing..?
Hello everyone,
You may not know me around AF to well because I don't post often but I have got alot of help from you're guys threads by reading them but now I have a problem that I can't find in search. My 89 crx idles rough and when pushed to go (mostly on highway) It won't really go above 3000 rpm it just backfires and misses. I suspect that my timing belt is a tooth off because I can't seem to get it right by adjusting the distributor. But does this seem like the timing to you honda vets out there? Just wondering if there's anything someone might recomend trying before I ;;sigh;; pull off the motor mount and do the belt again. =)

Re: CRX bad timing..?
It sounds like the timing, I cant think of anything else that would cause that. And if it is off some teeth i bet its not just one.

hey thanks for your replies but I actually got it figured out last night. The timing wasn't off at all- The tensioner was abit to loose and the belt had some play in it. also one of the O rings was bad and one of my plugs was getting oil in it. It's all good now though.
