My car's timing is messed up. Awhile back, i set the timing to 15* and it ran fine. Now after i put my efans on and took off all the emissions, the timing changed to 10*. I think it has to do with vacuum leaks because the last time i adjusted it there were probably a couple leaks but now there arent any. But yea, after my car warms up, i shut it off and pull both plugs off the tps. After i turn my car on, the idle goes up to 900 so i adjust the idle back to 750 with the idle screw. I check my timing and its around 15* but the timing moves around really fast. So i turn off the engine and plug the plugs back onto the tps. Turn engine on and check timing. It goes back to 10*. If i adjust the 10* to 15* without unplugging the tps, the car seems to knock a little bit.
My second question is, my firing order seems to be 180* off. I thought that the 1st cylinder was suppose to be at 11 oclock and the 4th cylinder was suppose to be at 4 o clock. But on my car, the 1st is at 4 oclock and the 4th is at 11 oclock. WOuld i have to take the oil pump out in order to fix it?? And would that be what is messing up my timing??
