just used a timing light for the first time. it's a digital one with advance and stuff. I am having trouble with this thing. here's what i did, (note: i did the frsport write up first for TDC, s14 sr)
1. warm up engine
2. unplug TPS
3. reved engine to 3k rpm few times
4. hooked up timing light
now, i pointed at the crank and it kept flashing at 0 deg. then, i turned the CAS to the right to advance the timing, but the idle would rise and the light would stop flashing. so i turn it back left and the idle would go down and flash at 0 deg again. what is going on?
next, i tried advancing the setting on the light to 15 deg and the light would flash where there is no marking. when i turn the CAS, the idle would go up again and thelight would not flash.
what am i doing wrong? sorry if it's confusing
