6-Cylinder Ignition Timing: XT6
- Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature and idle speed is correct. Place transaxle in Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T).
- Ensure throttle valve is closed and throttle position sensor is correctly adjusted. Plug in 2 test mode connector wires. See Fig 1 .
- Check ignition timing. Timing marks are on crankshaft pulley. If necessary, adjust ignition timing by loosening distributor hold-down bolt and rotating distributor.
NOTE:
When checking timing, the CHECK ENGINE warning light will come on; this is not an indication of problem. Ignition timing cannot be set if idle contacts in TPS are open and test mode connector is not plugged in.
