Let me know if you cant get the picture to show clearly I can find it on my old drive and re-upload
3. Finally, recognize that timing lights are often directional. In other words, if you flip the pickup -the clamp- it can read a completely different number.
the way to tell which way is 'right' is that the CAS will be nearly center -not quite but almost- with the timing reading 15* btdc. If you pickup is "reversed" the cas will not be center when you see 15 at the crank
rev the engine lightly, no more than 3k, and make sure the timing goes right back where it was each time, pretty rock steady. If its jumping around you have the tps plugged in, or something is up with the TPS signal. |
I clicked the link but it is blurred via photobucket, also thought you're supposed to put the clamp on the loop by the back of the coilpack harness, no??
