Want this question answered?
The ignition timing can be adjusted. Attach the timing light to the battery and connect it to the cylinder. Loosen the distributor adjustment bolt and start the engine. Remove the vacuum hose from the carburetor. Read the timing and make the necessary adjustments.
the ignition timing does not get replaced on 87 dodge.
It has electronic ignition the timing is adjusted by the cam and crank sensor and regulated by the ecm. In short you can't without messing with the timing belt and since it has an interference engine (the pistons can hit the valves) I would suggest it.
timing is adjusted by the ignition module and feed back from sensors
Your ignition timing needs to be adjusted.
Even so eclipse uses distributor based ignition system, I'm not sure that you can adjust timing. The timing you can adjust is idle timing. But it basically never needs to be adjusted.
You have an ignition Control Module that you can check that controls ignition timing Throttle Position Sensor that tells the computer where the throttle is so it can regulate and give the correct air fuel ratio.
Controls the ignition timing.
The distributor is located in a fixed, non-adjustable position. Ignition timing is preset and cannot be adjusted. Ignition timing is controlled by the powertrain control module.
No there are no timing marks. The engine controller controls the ignition timing the input sensor is the knock sensor.
You cant "reset" the timing on these. It has computer controlled ignition timing. If there is a timing problem check the crank sensor.
The 1997 dodge ram doesn't have adjuastable timing if the. The timing is controled by a crankshaft sensor near the transmission bell housing and a cam position sensor in the distributor. the cam position sensor is uned mostly for fuel injection syncronization. The crankshaft position sensor mainly controls ignition timing and is not moveable/adjustable.
