Ignition Timing
- Start engine and run at 3000 RPM with no loads and transmission in Park or Neutral, until radiator fan comes on. Allow engine to idle. Connect tachometer to tachometer test connector (White, 2-pin with cover) located in left rear of engine compartment. Ensure engine idle is correct. See IDLE SPEED .
- Connect SCS Service Connector (07PAZ-0010100 ) to 2-pin service check connector, located under dash, right of center console. See Fig 1 . Service check connector uses a Brown wire and a Black wire.
- Connect timing light to spark plug wire No. 1. Check base ignition timing. Red mark indicates 15 degrees BTDC. White mark indicates TDC. See IGNITION TIMING .
- If timing is not as specified, loosen hold-down bolts and rotate distributor to adjust timing. Rotate distributor counterclockwise to advance timing and clockwise to retard timing. Tighten distributor hold-down bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (24 N.m). Recheck timing and readjust if necessary. Remove timing light, tachometer and SCS service connector.IGNITION TIMING - (Degrees BTDC @ RPM)
