Default B16 timing belt

If the timing is a lil bit off target or if it skiped a lil, will it still throw out some spark ?

yeah your timing is either gonna become advanced or retarded, should notice either more acceleration(retarded) or more top end(advanced)?

if its off a tooth, it will barely idle, and have no power. i have explained how to do the cam timing a few times here, but its kind of long, so do a quick search and you should find it. it will be in a pretty old post, its been awhile.

If you're not getting spark, check your dizzy.

if your timing is off, it will still spark, it will just do it at all the wrong times, so if its not sparking at all, check your connections and maybe, just maybe, your ECU went out.
