How do you install my opti from scratch. I moved the rotor on accident when I cleaned it.

 

Do a 'search' on the forum, there are numerous threads about the opti.

 

If you look there is an alignment bump on the rotor and the spline drive has a missing groove.

Thanks

 

I put the opti back on the car and now it runs but when I give it gas it pops out the engine and exhaust

 

I thought I put it on wrong but it wont go on any ohter tooth on the spline so it has to be right

 

There are keyed grooves, like the link earlier shows. I've seen on the forums how numerous people have been able to miss align these grooves somehow and it still fits on and they think nothing of it until they encounter problems and have to go all the way back to correct it.

 

As difficult as it APPEARS to be to insert the splined tooth incorrectly, I'd estimate that it appears to happen in about 10% of the installs.

 

I just took it all off and put a new cap on it and put it all back together and still crappy. I'm looking at the spline and lining every hting up and it looks and feels to go in good without force. I'm going to pull it off again. could it be that the opti is used to how the cap was before cleaning it?

 

I just tried every tooth on both sides of the spline(cam/opti) and cant even get it to go on any other one.

 

Does it matter if I dont have the belt hooked up? I had it hooked up the first time now i'm trying it with only the air intake hooked up and not the belt

 

Are you sure you have all the plug wires on the correct terminals on the Opti?

 

I just checked the wires 2 more times and they are all correct. I just put a new opti and cap now.

 

Backfiring out the intake. Do I have to put the water pump/crank shaft pully and the belt back on.
Or can I just have the intake and those componants to run it for a few to see if the car runs?
