Ignition Timing
- With transmission in Neutral or Park, start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Turn engine and all accessories off. Connect tachometer. Connect timing light to No. 1 spark plug wire.
- Disconnect and plug fuel vapor canister purge hose and EGR vacuum hose. Start engine and ensure idle is 900 RPM. Adjust idle as required. Check ignition timing. See 4-CYLINDER IGNITION TIMING table.
- If adjustment is required, loosen distributor hold-down bolt and turn distributor until timing is within specification. Tighten distributor hold-down bolt and recheck timing. Adjust idle speed as required.
