it flashed 8 times, and 20 times. the TDC and ELD. i know that stuff already, i was wondering how my TDC could get F'd up? i changed my dizzy on the car... could that be one of the problems maybe??? and what about the ELD? what could be wrong with that?

ecu flashed 8 times and 20 times... just to be clear. lol.

its total dead center... for the camshaft aint it? it has to do with my dizzy or its in there i guess. i just have no knowledge how to fix or what to look for to fix sumthin with the TDC and ELD... my dizzy has just been replaced. i need sum help with that. why would tdc code be flashing on my ecu? my car wont crank and has sum sorta electrical issue and thats from the ELD im guess cuz its flashing that code also.

^that's a troubleshooting flowchart for TDC (Top Dead Center) malfunctions.

your ELD issue could be something totally different. make sure your alternator belt isn't slipping, that can trigger the ELD trouble-code. your alternator could also be crapping out on you.

my bad, had a retarded moment. haha. that could be the source of your problem. coulda skipped a tooth and threw it off somehowyea the timing jumped somehow. if you know how to set a car in time it shouldn't be to hard. and there should be a marking on the crank pulley and the cam gear to let you know where to set them at to have it correctly in time like its suppose to be.

the ELD i'm not to sure.

the TDC sensor is located inside the distributor. Dont worry about the ELD code, thats most likely related to the TDC code.

Take your distributor off and make sure its on the right way, make sure its IN THE MIDDLE.

Double check your cam timing and look at the timing belt make sure everything lines up.

You can check TDF on the crank pulley.

yea.. i know that the alt belt could be tighter.. i just bolted everything up and checked to see if it was working with the new peice i had to put on the altr and the new dizzy.

thanx guys. +rep
