Tonight decided to do the nutter on my '90 4.2. Everything went fine until I went to start it to do the timing. The post I was following was on Jeep Forum and I was able to follow it easily. It advices to start it and get it to running temps the shut it down. Then pull the vac line from the distributor and plug then perform timing adjustments.
I can get the thing to turn over but it wont fire up at all so I can set the timing. Is the timing far enough off now that it won't allow it to start? Is there anything else that could be causing this. I'm a little nervous now since I've read running the engine in a poor timing setting can cause damage to the engine. Any help will be appreciated.
