Hey fellow DSMers, my car recently came up with some problems. The car randomly lost spark in cylinder 1 and 4 after letting it idle before work so it can warm up. The car just a week ago before this problem had an idle issue. I would get the code P0300, replaced plugs, wires, and today the coil pack. I took out the power transistor and tested it with the light bulb method and it worked. I checked timing and i found it very odd. From what I’ve seen, the marks should line up in between each other so 3 o’clock for exhaust, 9 o’clock intake correct? But after checking it, when my exhaust sprocket is at 2 o’clock, my intake is at 2 o’clock aswell. Shouldn’t my intake be at around 8 o’clock? I’ve never checked the timing before this because I was that kid who thought that slapping a bigger turbo and adding more boost will be easy
