IGNITION TIMING
Ignition timing adjustment is not possible and should
not be attempted.
The timing advance range is programmed into the
ignition
module, which responds to vacuum signal
(indicating
engine
load) and TDC sensor signal
(indicating
engine
flywheel
position
and rpm).
Timing is then adjusted automatically to correspond
with
those conditions.
(Refer back to IGNITION
MODULE.)
If timing
is incorrect, check:
• vacuum lines
• TDC sensor

• ignition
