Operate engine until cooling fan comes on. Locate 2-pin service check connector (behind right kick panel). Plug Service Check Connector Tool (07PAZ-0010100 ), into service check connector. Refer to Fig 1 .

Connect inductive timing light to No. 1 spark plug wire. Ensure idle speed is 700-800 RPM. Red (16° BTDC) mark on crankshaft pulley should align with pointer on timing belt cover. If Red mark and pointer are not aligned, adjust base ignition timing by turning distributor. See IGNITION TIMING . Remove service check connector tool from service check connector.
