Okies Guys,
checked the timing today (first time for me) so excuse any stupid questions.
warmed the engine up.
disconnected the TPS
reved to 3.5 twice
connected the strobe light to battery and number 1 lead
looked at timing marks from above (so that the rad was on my left)
found that the timing pointer was pointing to the crank pulley about 8mm (equivalent to about 8 degrees) before the first mark.
when I reved the car, the marks went even further away from the pointer (about 50mm) until i let it idle again where it settled again about 8mm away from the first mark.
My question is does this mean that the timing is currently about 30 degrees BTC, am i looking at the marks the right way round or is this reading about 13 degrees ATC?
sorry for the lack og understanding.
Cheers
Lee
