how do you set the timing on a1988 acura integra 1.6 automatic?

with a timing gun

well its easy if you no what to do.1st remove spark plug 1, (it will be the closest plug to the driver side of the car)place a long PLASTIC straw in the hole, make sure it sticks out .with someone helping you have them turn the crank pully couner clockwise from the diver side.untill the straw goes up and ALMOST goes back down again.on the pully there will be 2 white lines and 1 red one, and there will be an arrow on the black casing on the side of the motor.make sure it lines up with the red mark.now your at TDC for the block,2nd take off the distrubuor cap, and see if the router is is at spark plug 1. if its not, at the cam gears turn them till the router is plug 1 and both cams points straight UPtenson the timing belt from the tensorner pully and you done, start the motor.
