It appears that I have found my misfire. My cam sensor was failing and has now bit the dust all together with the discovery that the metal ring had significant play... then the metal tab broke.
So here is my question. I can't rely on the alignment of the old sensor so I must set TDC. Everything I read is as follows:
Cyl #1 (DS front) my assumption is that front means the cyl closest to the front bumper. Check for the beginning of the compression stroke and wala.. TDC.
That much makes sense to me. However, in the instructions it tells me to then check the timing gear which should be right around the mark for TDC. However, the mark on my crank pulley doesn't come up to the zero mark until cyl number 1 reaches the top of its compression stroke. This doesn't seem right. What am I doing wrong?!
