why does this site SUCK so bad for straight answers
It should be 6 degrees before tdc, just make sure you disconnect the distributor's computer control wiring harness before you adjust, and check the timing with a timing gun.
The timing doesn't change during normal operation. If you want to know what it is, check it with a timing light per the manufacturer's instructions. It would usually only need to be adjusted if it's been disturbed.
Basically, the timing is set and adjusted by the engine computer.
That year is NOT ajustable. It sounds like it is TIME for a NEW clutch. It may just be the clutch slave cylinder too. Check it first.
You can do a cylinder leakage test to check for bent valves.You can do a cylinder leakage test to check for bent valves.
The timing is controlled by the vehicle's computer. There is no need to adjust it during normal maintenance. I don't believe that it is possible to adjust the timing on that vehicle. I think that it was set and sealed at time of manufacture. Safest thing is to check with the dealer.
You can not adjust the idle screw, it is sealed off at the factory. If you are having a high idle problem check for a vacuum leak or a bad idle air control valve. These will commonly cause a high idle.
You can not set the timing with a timing light on that year engine. The timing is controlled by the PCM./ Power train control module. You must have an oBD2 engine scanner to set the timing. If the timing is off then the check engine light will be on.If you have not removed the distributor are moved it around for any reason then the engine timing is correct already. No need to adjust it. Computer does it.
