32. Make sure the engine is at operating temperature and the curb idle speed is correct.

Manual Transaxle 700 +/- 100 rpm.
Automatic Transaxle 750 +/- 100 rpm.



33. Connect a timing light. Loosen the distributor mounting nut and set the ignition timing to 5 Degrees BTDC with the vacuum hose connected.



34. Place a punch mark over the 1st digit of the serial number on the bulkhead identification plate. This will show that the campaign procedures have been completed.



35. On the authorized modifications label write in the following information under the flap:

CHANGE AUTHORITY: "EMR-90-006"
DEALER CODE: Your 5 digit dealer code
REPAIR DATE: The date of the repair Month/Day/Year.

Carefully remove the paper from the backside on the flap. Press the now clear flap portion onto the label.



36. Apply the authorized modification label to the underside of the hood, close to the emissions label. This label will show the new ignition timing specification. Thoroughly clean the hood surface before applying the new label.

39. After completing these procedures, make sure that all fuel and coolant connections are not leaking. Check that all fasteners are tightened to the proper torque. Remove the fender covers.
