The ignition timing is controlled by a computer...you do not adjust it. if you have modifications to the engine you can buy a new computer to match the mods or have yours programed...otherwise, millions are spent for research and developement of a car before it is manufactured...so keep it the way the engineers designed it...will last much much longer.

There is no adjustment for the ignition timing, it is all computer controlled. The only way the timing could be out is if the chain jumped a tooth.

YOU NEED TO CONNECT A TACHOMETER ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTION.ON THE 1990 - 1993 MODELS USING A SUITABLE JUMPER WIRE CONNECT THE GREEN AND BROWN TERMINALS OF THE IGNITION TIMING ADJUSTING CONNECTOR LIGHT GRAY WIRE LOCATED UNDER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH.MAKE SURE ALL WIRES CLEAR OF THE COOLING FAN AND HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.START THE ENGINE POINT THE TIMING LIGHT AT THE TIMING MARK POINTER AND THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY.ON THE 1990 - 1993 MODELS THE POINTER SHOULD BE ON THE RED MARK 16 DEGREES BTDC ON THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY AT 700 - 800 RPM.IF NECESSARY ADJUST THE TIMING BY LOOSENING THE DISTRIBUTOR ADJUSTING BOLTSSLOWLY ROTATE THE DISTRIBUTOR IN THE REQUIRED DIRECTION WHILE OBSERVING THE TIMING MARKS.AFTER MAKING THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT TIGHTEN THE HOLD DOWN BOLTS TAKING CARE NOT TO DISTURB THE ADJUSTMENT.REMOVE THE JUMPER WIRE.
