Hi from me again.Today i changed my timing chain(just the camshaft) and i want to check the ignition timing.Can someone write a how to,or if there is a topic just give me a link,because i searched but could not find anithing.I have read somewhere that i have to unplug the tps,and the timing should be 15deg but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

When doing a timing chain, there is timing marks that you line up.

1. On the harmonic balancer
2. Should be on the sprocket where both top and bottom chain meet

Yes yes.
I have done all the timing marks.
I mean the timing from the dizzi!
I want to check the timing with a strobe light!

Did you TDC piston 1? If so when you put the dizzy back take off the cap and rotate the the rotor inside to #1 then install it other wise you will have **** timing

And for the sake of your car dont do it with a cheap 25$ timing gun bought on ebay !
