lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,00O rpm with
no load (A/T in S or E position, M/T in neutral) until
the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Pull out the service check connector located behind
the right kick panel. Connect the BRN/WHT and BLK
terminals with the SCS short connector.
4. Adiust ignition timing, if necessary, to the follow-
ing specifications:
lgnition Timing:
16 t 2 BTDC (RED) at 75O 1 50 rpm in noutral
NOTE:
a Shift lever must be in neutral.
a All electrical systems should be turned OFF.DATA LINKCONNECTOR {3-P}NOTE: Do not attachthe jumper wire.

5. To adjust ignition timing, loosen the distributor
mounting bolts, and turn the distributor housing
counterclockwise to advance the timing, or clock-
wise to retard the timing.

Shift to neutral or Ll] and start the engine. Hold the
engine at 3,OOO rpm with no load until the radiator
fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect a tachometer to the test tachometer con-
nector.

Distributor Installation
Coat a new O-ring with engine oil, then install it.
Slip the distributor into position.
NOTE: The lugs on the end of the distributor and
its mating grooves in the camshaft end are both off-
set to eliminate the possibility ot installing the dis-
tributor 18Oo out of time.
DISTRIBUTOR END CAMSHAFT END
Install the mounting bolts and tighten them tem-
porarily.
Connect the 2-P and 8-P connectors to the dis-
tributor.

5. Connect the ignition wires as shown.
Set the timing with a timing light (se€ page 23-89).
After setting the timing, tighten the mounting bolts.

Spark Plug Inspection
1. Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator for:
. rmproper gap. Oil-touling. Carbon deposits. Cracked centerelectrode insulatorDamagedgask6t
Burned or worn electlodes may be caused by:. Advanced ignition timing. Loose spark plug. Plug heat range too low. Insufficient cooling
Fouled plug may be caused by:. Retarded ignition timing. Oil in combustion chamber. lncorrect spark plug gap. Plug heat range too high. txcessive idling/low speed running. Clogged air cleaner element. Deteriorated ignition coil or ignition wires
Check the electrode gap.
Bl88l engine:
a Adjust the gap with a suitable gapping tool.
Electrode Gap
Standard: 1.0-1.1 mm (O.O39-0.O43 in)
1.1 mm{0.0,$ in)
Replace the plug if the center electrode is round-
ed as shown below:
ROUNDEDELECTROOE
Bl8Cl engine:
a Make sure that the '1.4 mm (0.055 in) wire-typeplug gauge does not go into the gap for the plati-
num tip plug. lf the gauge goes into the gap, do
not attempt to adjust the side electrode; replace
the plug with a new one. Use only the spark plugs
listed below.
ROUNDEO ELECTRODE
Electrode GapStandard: 1 .2-'l .3 mm{0.047 -O.051 in)Service Limit: 1.4 mm{0.055 in)
CAUTION: Do not use a blade-type plug gaugs, it
may damage the platinum tip of the center olectrodo.

3. Apply a small quantity ol anti-seize compound to the
plug threads.
Screw the plugs into the cylinder head iingef-tight,
then torque them to 18 N.m (1.8 kgf.m, 13lbf.ft).
