Timing question.

So before even trying to time the engine I should hit operating temp 1st?

I normally get a cold reading and then when it plains out I re-adjust.

I'm not even sure what you mean about timing it manually. There's another way? Besides relocating the dist tooth or the the idle screw whick I have looked at and it's maxed out 1 way basically and I'm not sure I should move it but hell if I turn a screw it's still being done manually.

I'm not getting something here. I'm not trying to be short I'm sorry if it sounds that way. I'm just unsure of the thought process I need to allocate my time and energy to at this point. Check the tps. Ok. Now that takes a trip to the tsrm because I know nothing about it. But I do have a multi meter. So. I'll try it again after I see if trying to reset aids my plight...

Which clearly it's probably not going to.

What's IDL???
