make sure the cam angle sensor wires are reconnected and not damaged.
i may be wrong,but doesnt the 420a motor have a knock sensor on the side of the block closest to the firewall?or is that JUST the 4g63?
when i built my eclipse motor,i was a dumbass and accidentally broke the knock sensor.i didnt realize it until i got the bitch running again either.
Yes they do have a knock sensor. If you are under the car looking up the sensor is on the driver side by the firewall.
+1 on the timing. Skipping even 1 tooth would screw everything up.
