You should start by taking out the cars' nodger. The nodger is found next to the sixth piston on the left hand side, almost at 10 'o clock. Once the nodger is removed start the car. If the car starts, drain all the petrol that is in the petrol tank. You should notice that your car will not be able to start anymore. If this is the case, now would be a good time to call a mechanic, preferably one with more than 3 years' experience. Ask him/her to add an extra hand brake to the sealing of your car and to help you set the valve timing on your VW 1.4 1999. If the problem persists sell your car.

How do you set the timing on a 1993 Ford Mustang XL?

Most newer cars 1990 up the timing is controlled by the computer. Read the tag under the hood that tells what motor is the the car it will probably say do not attempt to adjust timing.That is partially correct. The computer controls timing once the initial timing has been set. You can set the initial timing. You need a timing light. Basically you set up the timing light per its instructions and loosen the distributor hold down bolt/nut. Remove spout, start car and check timing with your light. You can move the distributor slightly to adjust the timing and tighten down when you are where you want to be. I would not go above 14 degrees and if you go there use premium fuel. HTH


Is timing your Chevy 350 to 14 degrees odd it has a cam and such and runs best around there?

You need to find someone that has an advance timing light. With it they can set the total advance at 35 degrees at 2,000 RPM. That will be your best performance setting.


How do you set the timing on a 2001 Lincoln Ls?

If you are thinking of setting the timing like what you need to do with vehicles that actually have distributors, you CAN'T. The Lincoln LS has no distributor.If you are talking about the timing chain then that involves a LONG process. The job is about a 12-14 hour job (flat rate time for mechanics)
