Ignition Timing

[calvin]

I have a qeustion. to get the ignition timing where you want, what plug do you have to short. I just read in an other topic.

Please help.
I have put my timing where i want without shorting a pin or so.

Just get a timing analyzer from Sears, it is by far the easiest way to check it.

But where is the connector that i have to jumper.? For what must the connector be shorten?

 

[lsvtec]

If you get a timing analyzer from Sears you don't have to do any of that. Just adjust the knob on the back of the gun until the strobe shows your timing marks on the crank pulley lining up with the mark on the oil pump. Then read the number that the knob on the gun is pointing to, that is your advance.

found it the service check connector. locate at passenger side(at the ecu)

 

[dohcvtec_accord]

That's for checking codes from the ECU. It's not going to help at all with adjusting your timing. Or checking it, for that matter.

Additionally, when adjusting the timing, don't forget to put a jumper in the socket under the passenger side dash! If not, it will be inaccurate.
