I hooked up my timing light and inserted my paperl clip into the little slots like it shows in the picture. My timing was at 10 degrees TDC. I took the paper clip out and it was still 10 degrees TDC. Could it be my paper clip was not doing its job?

1. Search
2. Adjust your TPS

Possible. Try using something that fits tighter. I stuff a piece of wire in there (nice tight fit). FYI, my timing usually moves about 2* when the jumper is removed.

Good way to see if you have a connection is to see if the check engine light is blinking with the connector in.

thanks for the information. I did not check for the check engine light blinking. Theres grease in the fittings so I could not tell if the clip was in the correct place.

can you explain how to adjust the TPS? Thanks

I could do a write-up of it, but 4crawler has a good one.

If you have a V6, you need to apply vacuum to the throttle opener as well, described in the FSM.
