Want this question answered?
helps to have the year but 96 and up are computer controlled and there is no timing adjusment only cam adjustment
Rotate the distributor. (Don't try this unless you know what you are doing.)
Go to autozone and ask them to diagnose it. Your car is a 1996, it should have an OBDII, which means they'll just plug it in.
no
what the timing chain marks for 96 maxium
They tell its a pain you have to lift the motor off the mounts .. I owned a 96 Gallant S with a 2.4 I loved that car....
The 96 Impala LT1 uses an optispark ignition system in which timing is controlled by the PCM (Computer). In order to change the timing you would need to use a computer, cable, and a tuning program such as PCM4Less or Tunercat. The Optispark mounted on the front of the engine is non adjustable for timing controls. The timing is controlled by the PCM sending signals to the ignition control module located adjacent to the coil on the passenger head.
I believe that the 96 has an electronically controlled ignition and cannot be adjusted. If there is a timing issue then timing belt replacement or adjustment is necessary.
how ofen do you change a timing belt on 96 excel
NoNo
Ping is caused by the timing being too far advanced either becasue it is set to far advanced or the advance system is malfunctioning. Prior to 1996 you can adjust the timing manually but after '96 the computer does it all.
No it has a timing belt.
