Hi ! You're not alone . I've got the same your problem , I want to post my problem on this side , But I see your problem , no body responding .
I have the same problem with NIssan Maxima 1990 , automatic , 179,000 miles ,
I've recently raplaced the timing belt , last weekend two day ago . All the timing mark srpocket line up timing , But the rotor on distrybutor is pointed at # 6 spark plus wire station ,
First thing I though Auto machanic made mistake , because I left my car to the shop replaced timing belt. I tried to turn the right camshaft back a bout 2 nocth to get rotor bcak to # 1 spark plug , But I will not match on 3 white mark on the belt . I have to go back same place ,
I put in new belt , 3 white line in the belt perfect fit in 3 timing mark on sprocket . These mark must be line up the 3 timing sprocket .
Then I made ajustment from distributor , completed removed distributor by removed one hold down bolt and lift distributor straight up. and ajust about 2 notch to the left ,then put back tried get right on # 1 station , After all I put back every thing . And the car did not start . I have to do over again , line up crank shaft mark , then removed distributor 1 nocth away from #1 station to # 6 station direction . Engine can started , But run stale .
I've got have to do it over againt , moved rotor to # 6 station , Engine started right , base idle is fine , checked timing with strobe light 25 dregree before TDC , and driving test , Engine was strong , trainmisstion shift fine , It's not perfect smooth line new car , but acceptalbe for now .
I want to fix these problems , too .
Any ideas will helps . Thank you very much , Good luck to you
