Ignition Timing: Testing and Inspection

IGNITION TIMING

Timing Marks:

1. Completely warm up engine.
2. Connect Test Mode connector (green connector under dash).
3. Ensure that transmission is in neutral and lights, rear defogger and heater fan are "OFF."
4. Hook up timing light, start engine and check timing.
5. If adjustment is necessary, loosen bolts and rotate distributor. Clockwise rotation advances timing and counterclockwise rotation retards timing. Retighten bolts when adjustment is complete.
6. Stop engine and disconnect Test Mode connector.

Ignition Timing (BTDC):
M/T in neutral: 5° @ 800 rpm
A/T in neutral: 5° @ 850 rpm
