[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 228570, member: 4617"] Need a bit of assistance in reading the timing marks. It was very simple with the original ECU, set the timing belt and crankshaft marks to align everything to #1 TDC. Now reading the manual and notice that once this is done, you use the "F1" crankshaft mark to set the timing for idle. Can't adjust anything with the FI model so never concerned myself with it. With the new ECU, first order of business is to set the timing, right after verifying that there is spark to each cylinder. Having aligned the crankshaft and timing belts using the "T1" crankshaft mark, I want to set the timing for engine operation. Recommended way is to remove plugs, disconnect fuel pump and injectors, turn over the engine and use timing light to set timing. Initial trigger wheel setting is done. When I spin the engine to check timing, I can lock the ignition at a certain degree to check the timing. I am using an ECU timing setting of "0" and "10" degrees to verify timing. From what I have read in the manual, I surmise that when I do this I should be setting the timing to the "F1" mark. If this is the case, the timing is spot on. Comments, recommendations would be appreciated. Sometimes the simplest issues are the most confusing. Cheers [/QUOTE]
