17. Connect negative terminal cable to battery.
18. Fill engine with coolant.
19. Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.





20. Connect tachometer and timing light to engine.
- Connect the tester probe of a tachometer to terminal IG- of the Data Link Connector 1. Set the tachometer to the 4 cylinder range.

NOTE: Never allow the tachometer terminal to touch ground as it could result in damage to the igniter and/or ignition coil. As some tachometers are not compatible with this ignition system, we recommend that you confirm the compatibility of your unit before use.





21. Check ignition timing.
- Using jumper, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the Data Link Connector 1.





- Connect the tester probe of a timing light to the high - tension cord for No. 6 cylinder.





- Using a timing light, check the ignition timing.

Ignition timing: 8 - 12° BTDC @ idle

If the ignition timing is not as specified, check that following conditions are normal:
- Throttle valve fully closed.
- Continuity between terminals IDL1 and E2 of the throttle position sensor.
- Valve timing.





- Remove the jumper from the Data Link Connector 1.
