Im working on my friends 1985 toyota corolla he was complaining it wouldnt start so far i have replaced the feul pump(major leak) feul filter he replaced the spark plugs and i just recently replaced the distributer car and rotor. I havent seen the the car since it hasn't started but he said that there is smoke and flame coming from the air box (the engine is carburated) from what he described the smoke and flame are coming from the manifold normally i would say the firing order is wrong but since i replaced the distributer i know its right im now thinking the timeing belt is jumping but im unsure if that would actually cause "puffs of flame" from the manifold any one have any ideas?
