Probably computer controlled and not adjustable
easy you buy a light and a book and follow the instructions!!.the book is only like 10 dollars at you local auto store

Ignition timing is automatically set. sorry.
That requires an engine scanner to set the timing.
ignition timing is controlled by the electronic control module or the "brain" on distributorless engines. Reysher
On my 2000 Metro with a 1.3L the mark and slot marked with the "E" are used.
Yes ANSWER No - a 1998 3.0 L Ford Ranger does not have a distributor which would allow you to adjust the ignition timing - it has a coil pack and the ignition timing is controlled by the PCM ( powertrain control module )
Spark plug knock on a 1998 Chevrolet pickup is an indicator that the ignition timing is correct. By adjusting the timing, the knock can be eliminated.
The timing on that year engine is computer controlled. It requires an engine scanner to set the timing. YOU CAN NOT USE A TIMING LIGHT.
Only a carburated engine will have a timing value. The multipoint fuel injection motors timing is controlled by the computer.
To adjust the ignition timing on a 1998 Yamaha DS80, first ensure the bike is on a stable surface and the engine is cool. Remove the left side cover to access the ignition system. Use a timing light to check the current timing by aligning the timing marks on the flywheel with the stator marks at the specified RPM. If adjustments are needed, loosen the stator mounting screws and rotate the stator slightly to achieve the correct timing before tightening the screws back down. Always refer to the service manual for specific timing specifications.
As I understand, the timing is computer controlled on the 98 metro. this means that it does not have a traditional distributor cap (which can be adjusted mechanically) but rather an electronic sensor. I believe it can be reprogramed with a mod chip though. --RS4
