water pump install-caused problems
i just replaced my water pump. when i was pulling off the water pump the front housing (with both radiator hoses attached to it) came out a little bit but not completely off. when i put it all back together the engine runs crappy now, almost like the timing is off or it is missfiring. did the crank angle sensor skip a tooth? can i fix it without removing housing again? please help

but if thats not connected the only issue would be is that you would have to thold throttle at 3k for about a minute when you cold start...and the car should run fine after that

the holding the idle at 3 grand is only to prevent flooding, and i do that when i move the car and it hasnt got up to operating temp yet. i did not check the sensor yet but i doubt it got disconnected. i have been trying to reposition the crank angle sensor (may have skipped a tooth?), but i cannot find timing marks to put the engine at "top dead center". does anyone know how to find this?

I "lost" my emissions....
you need to explain "runs crappy"
does the idle hunt?
does it not stay running?
does the car not rev past x rpm?
is it smoking lake a banshee?
what is the year and modle as well?

its a 89 non turbo. i adjusted the sensor to where it runs smooth now but i wont idle below 2500 rpms. i just need to find the yellow mark, line it up, take out the crank sensor and align it correctly. i will clean the main pulley off really good to find the marks.

The Temp sensor for the Fast Warm-up is located in the bottom of the radaitor.
Removing the Water pump housing cannot affect timing.

i didnt think that removing the housing would effect timing either. anyways i got it running properly, i found the timing marks and aligned the crank position sensor accordingly. but i want to get the timing perfect. i have a timing light on me. does anyone know the procedure on checking the timing?
