checking timing on EA82T


Recommended Posts

So as a part of my problem solving I wanna check ignition timing, would I be right to connect a strobe light to ignt lead #1 with the green connectors connected?

 

plus am I right thinking that facing the engine from the front the number 1 spark plug is nearest front on your left.

 

thanks.:banana:

Yeah, the #1 is on the left (OK OK in "real terms" it'd be the right side, because that's the perspective from the driver's seat:grin:) closest to the front and yes, the green connectors need to be connected. TIming is 20deg btdc (Not the 8 deg that it says under the hood, of your first ea82t, that you didn't know the hood was swapped out....not that that's happened to me before :grin:)

 

Good luck with your car,

Justin Johnson.
