if u want - you can download the FSM - it explains its for you. u could just line up the dots on the CAS with the valve cover off - i've done it a few times that way and it always works good. http://69.253.100.102/files/FSMs/JDMS14.pdf

Search, please.

There are a ton of threads about how to correctly set up your timing.

Many of them have a step-by-step breakdown of the procedure.

start car, let it warm up, turn it off, unplug TPS, start car, turn the CAS until you line it up with the second mark from the right on the crank pulley. tighten the CAS and turn the car off, plug up the TPS and youre good to go

I guess if you blink really, really fast! You can see the timming mark!

Best advice ever!

And it's free to boot.

P.S. Use el cheapo timing light from Autozone. A little more expensive than free but it actually works.
