Timing belt zx2 code p1383 

thanks brother. just trying to help out

Lo que explica es que cuando tienes todo y ve te sale mal la puesta a tiempo es una posición adelantada árbol de escape. Dice que tomes el árbol de levas con polea suelta y jires hacia abajo en un movimiento y regresarlo hacia las muñecas de posición y que esto es para reestablecer el sensor para inicio y esto es porque movemos mucho el arbol

+Alexis Gutierrez moved it forward, then i tightened it to specs

they're not that bad, its just trying to time it

I just had this happen on my 2000 zx2 did you ever find the fix?

Both of those codes are from the same issue he is discussing here your timing is off. Everytime I do the timing on my zx2 from rebuilding the head or block or whatever your doing I set the crank a couple degrees advanced and then I put the vct thrust washers( the small cam bearing with 3 oil holes and one locating hole for sprocket he held up in the video) locating tab hole a little past 12 o clock and then slide exhaust sprocket on some of the way then rotate until locating tab goes into locating hole then hand tighten oil feed sprocket bolt which is an E 20 inverted torx. Then put belt on and follow revised timing procedure from technical service bulletin then I rotate the motor by hand one time clockwise until connecting rod reaches pivot point( crank will move but cams won’t) on TDC compression again and I see where the crank rotates but screwdriver in spark plug hole doesn’t move and i go past the middle of that area that the cams stay still by a little bit but not enough that the screwdriver starts moving down again then I check the slots and make sure the intake is dead on TDC and that the exhaust is within a couple degrees as it’s natural for it to move a little bit off from vct oil pressure operation and then if I see it’s good I rotate the crank back to the spot where it’s right in the middle of the connecting rods pivot aka TDC which is like hardly turning it back at all so be careful and do it very slowly then I put the valve cover back on and plug vct solenoid in and put serpentine belt back on and start the engine let it run till operating temp then shut it off and open oil cap to check TDC on exhaust cam and check on crank and if it’s all good reinstall timing cover ect and it the lack of a check engine light should be verification enough especially if u start the engine a second time and no dtcs are present but I check with my eyeballs anyways and I know it seems ridiculous to do it this way but when u find out there are variables such as. Cleaning the oil passages of vct and removing sprocket which makes all the oil pressure have to build in the sprocket again which throws your timing a little tiny bit than you find a method that works and stick with it and I’ve done this method no less than 50 times because of my obsession for making everything better on my zx2 which idles as smooth as any car by the way. People say it inherently has rough idle which is true bc of no egr and valve overlap from vct and many other things but with it being intact it’s perfectly smooth and has a negative .8 long term fuel trim and stft hovering over and under zero by 2 percent at idle and no more than 7 or 8 points on short term under load and most driving conditions ( to many variables to test at all times. Hope this helps

Richard Gill appreciate it ! Thanks for watching

Ll Lock I don't think that would do anything to the timing. If Skokie comes out again just make sure to see exactly where. For the low idle look into the idle air control valve might be stuck

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find the culprit. There was a thin small hose that comes off the exhaust manifold( imposible to see from top and hard to see from under). Seems that due to pressure build up by turning the car on and off 5 times quickly. the "unsecured" hose had come off and was causing those issues.

Have you looked up the difference from a vct and vvt solenoid ?

@@OzMechanics the vct soleniod never shows up, just the vvt. I basicly have the same engine. Mines a 99 contour with the 2.0l zetec. Have both the p1383 and p0340 camshaft position sensor malfunction. U have a link to the sensor u bought?
