2000 4.0L auto.
What started as a waterpump replacement has turned into resealing the whole darn engine. The timing cover bolts had lossened and blown oil back on the entire engine. I replaced major seals, gaskets and O rings and am down to the two left. The question is about the hall effect switch(?) that replaced the distributor. On an older distributor I knew how to remove and 'timed' back into place using the position of the rotor.
What's the trick with this distributorless set up? How do I know where #1TDC is with relation to this component?
