Important! The ignition timing procedure applies to almost all vehicles covered in this Manual. If the ignition timing procedure specified on the vehicle's engine compartment plate differs from that described below, follow the instructions on the plate.
1. Connect the tachometer according to the manufacturer's instructions (1 – tachometer, 2 – battery).
2. Find the diagnostic connector and short-circuit the terminals E1 and TE1 (the location of the connector installation is indicated in subsection 5.10).
3. With the ignition off, connect the stroboscope, following the instructions of the device manufacturer. Almost all stroboscopes are powered by a battery. In addition, the winding of the stroboscope induction sensor is put on the high-voltage wire of the 1st cylinder.
4. Locate the spark timing marks on the front cover and on the crankshaft pulley.
5. Warm up the engine, make sure that the engine idle speed is normal.
6. Direct the stroboscope light at the scale. The mark on the crankshaft pulley should be opposite the corresponding division of the scale.
7. If necessary, loosen the distributor mounting bolt and slowly turn the distributor to set the ignition timing (see subsection 11.1).
8. Tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the ignition timing.
9. Remove the jumper and make sure the ignition timing is correct.
10. Turn off the ignition and remove the instruments.
