do you have the green test connectors hooked up? they are required for proper timing checks...

 

Not sure where they are on the 92 Loyale - on the 89 GL they were just behind the drivers side strut tower - but from what i understand later models had them under the dash?

I am trying to check the timing and And I can't get my timing light to work on 1 cylinder??????but it does work on 2 cylinder.Any ideas???

Thanks Bill N8NQU

 

Bad cap and rotor, or bad plug wire or plug.

 

If the light will flash on all the other wires, those are the only options

just to be sure - what are you calling #1 cyl??

 

#1 is passenger side front - not drivers side front as many mistakenly think

 

the only other thing i can think of would be completely mis-timed - but if it was that far out of whack it wouldnt run... :confused:

Compression and therefore firing voltage is too low on #1 to trigger your light.

 

Try a wide plug gap on #1 or loosen the wire on the spark plug until there is a small gap.This will increase voltage enough to fire the light.I`ve had the same problem.

Finally I got the problem fixed,It turn out to be the new Cap that I got from Advance Auto.It was not machined right.I am glad it's fixed,I'll be having fun in the snow now.Thanks to all that took the time to follow this thread.Bill:banana:
