3vze igintion timing
Hi
went to alter ignition timing could not get t1 te1 jumped to get flashing cel light. so turned engine on and moved dizzy using rubber gloves(health and safety). Moved to highest rev point before ecu lowered it. Anti clockwise movement by a fraction of an inch stalled engine. so moved clockwise. mark on dizzy moved from left hand side of mark to. an inch to right of engine mark. went for test drive feels much better. does this mean its set right. all advice will be grafully recieved.
Thanks
dave

No.
1) Use a timing light. $20 http://www.harborfreight.com/xenon-t...ight-3343.html http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...3551/N0665.oap, and you need one anyway.
2) Yes, the manual says to jumper TE1 to E1. If the CEL doesn't flash, you haven't jumped it correctly, and you cannot set the timing correctly. You need to figure that out; if you have a wiring problem there you're just sliding backwards.
Good luck!

Timing is "base timing" plus/minus a number of other factors, including temperature. Using the jumper turns off the "other" factors, so that you are reading/setting base timing directly. Without the jumper, you're not setting base timing, you're setting something else. If all your plus/minus factors happen to add to zero, you're in luck. Otherwise, not.
