Ignition Timing: Testing and Inspection

Timing Marks:

Because a distributorless ignition system is utilized, ignition timing can be checked but cannot be adjusted. If out of specification, refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING PROCEDURES.

1. Warm up engine.
2. Confirm that throttle sensor idle switch is "ON."
3. Connect a timing light to #1 spark plug wire and check timing.

Ignition Timing (BTDC):
Manual Transmission: 15° ± 2°/700 rpm
Automatic Transmission: 15° ± 8°/700 rpm
