2. I don't have a timing belt cover, so to set the bottom end at TDC, I inserted an 3/8 extension through the sparkplug hole, and tried to feel when the piston was at TDC
3. code 9, cyl sensor
I think that all of these things are related to the running rought issue, so:
how can I check if the timing is right?
BTW, I'm not ghetto for setting up the timing like that, I'm something like McGyver, lol.
not sure what you mean by about your valves being open but that is a good way to set tdc that is how i do,but i would never use a metal object i use a long plastic stright tube makes it so easy,but i would say your problem is in your timing if you said you do it yourself and it not running right you should take it somewhere fast befor more problems come up
