How do you use timing light?
On most cars, there is a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley. It will be just a notch on the lip of the pulley closest to the timing cover. On the face of the cover there will be either a pointer sticking out or a series of lines with numbers above each line. 0, 5, 10 or 0, 10, 20. 0 is top dead center on number one piston. Attach the battery clips to the battery and the pick up on the number one spark plug wire. Start the car and the light should flash each time number one cylinder fires. There should be a sticker on the radiator support or hood that says what the timing should be, probably somewhere between 4 and 8 degrees BTDC. Before top dead center. Shine the light at the crankshaft and because of the strobe effect, you will be able to see the timing mark on the crankshaft and adjust as needed. You adjust the timing by loosening the distributor and rotating is slightly one way or the other. If there is a vacuum advance on the distributor, disconnect the hose and plug it when you set the timing. Some cars have the timing marks on the transmission flywheel or torque converter and there is an access plate on the top of the transmission housing.

What number does the rotor face in the distributor?
When fitting or removing a distributor, the rotor arm points at No1. You do of course have to rotate the engine, so that No1 cylinder is on compression stroke and the timing marks are in about the right place first. Suzuki jeeps like the SJ 413, Vitara and Samurai are set up on No4 though.
How do you remove distributor rotor on 2000 crv?
I have a 1999 cr-v. With the distributor cap off you must slightly give the key a turn in the ignition (not trying to start it) just to turn the rotor a little. When the teeth on the rotor face the front end of the car you should be able to see a phillip's head screw on the back side that screws directly into the distributor shaft. Unscrew this and the rotor should slide right off. Be careful not to strip the screw, because you might end up having to take off the entire distributor housing to drill it out.

How do you replace the ignition module of a Pontiac Sunbird?
Undo the two Phillips screws (the lower one is difficult to get) on the distributor cap and remove the cap. Pull the distributor rotor off the shaft. The module is mounted flat across the surface directly below the rotor. It is a semi-circular dark grey or brown piece taking up about half the surface of the distributor face, held on with two small hex-head screws. This is a NOTORIOUS failure item in early Sunbirds, if you have brutally erratic and total no-starts this is something to try early on in the diagnostic game.
