Make sure you connect how I have it shown. hopefully the pic shows up
disconnect the TPS to put it into timing mode. Rev the engine a little bit to make sure the timing stays steady in timing mode near idle speeds.
Set timing to 15*btdc around ECU idle speed, maybe 800rpm or something, I forgot. Just make sure its the idle speed correctly, timing steady.

When attempting to do ignition timing can one simply disconnect the TPS to put it into timing mode after it is warmed up, or do we need to follow the FSM?
Part 1
- Warm up car.
- Run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes, under no load.
- Rev engine two to three times, under no load.
- Run engine for 1 minute at idle speed.
- Stop engine and disconnect TPS.
- Start engine.
Part 2
- Rev engine two to three times to about 2000 rpm, under no load.
- Run engine at idle speed.
- Check ignition with timing light and set at 15+- BTDC.
Just want to see if there is another approach to successfully set ignition timing.
