Ignition Timing: Adjustments

1. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Connect tachometer.





- Connect the test probe of a tachometer to terminal IG - of the data link connector 1.

NOTICE:
- Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition coil.
- As some tachometers are not compatible with this ignition system. we recommend that you confirm the compatibility of your unit before use.

3. Adjust ignition timing.





- Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1 (SST 09843-18020).





- Connect the power source terminal of the timing light to terminal 30 of the starter and test probe to the No. 1 high-tension cord (light blue).





- Check the ignition timing.

Ignition timing: 5° BTDC @ idle

- Loosen the hold-down bolts, and adjust by turning the distributor.
- Tighten the hold-down bolts and recheck the ignition timing.

Torque: 19 Nm (195 kgf.cm. 14 ft.lb)

- Remove the SST from the DLC1. SST 09843-18020

4. Further check ignition timing.





- Check that the ignition timing advances.

Ignition timing: 12° BTDC at idle

5. Disconnect tachometer and timing light from engine.
