How do you adjust the ignition timing? Took the car to a friends house last night and found out its about 5 degrees off, but he doesnt know how to adjust it, he mostly works with supras. Thanks for any help guys.

 

just the base timing? hmm you dont have a cam angle sensor do you?

 

You can not adjust the base ignition timing on a 2g.

 

so what can he do? he cant bolt a cam angle sensor to it can he?

 

Make sure it is being timed correctly for starters.

 

oh i figured he woulda done that... are you talking about grounding out the diagnostics port or whatever?

 

yes.

 

If it cant be adjusted, then how do i fix it?

 

did you do this yet?

 

i guess we did, unless theres some special way to check timing on a DSM? We hooked up the timing light to the #1 cylinder and to the positive terminal of the battery, and marked the crank pully at the timing mark. I forget where it registered at, but he said its 5 degrees off.
