Turn the crankshaft pulley until the groove and the timing mark "0" on the timing chain cover are aligned.
Check that each timing mark on the camshaft timing gear and sprocket is aligned with each timing mark located on the No. 1 and No. 2 bearing caps as shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360°) to align the timing marks as illustrated.

INSTALL IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY
Install the 4 ignition coils with the 4 bolts.
Connect the 4 ignition coil connectors.
INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
Start the engine. Make sure that there are no oil leaks from the area that was worked on.
INSPECT IGNITION TIMING
Note
Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C off.
Inspect the ignition timing with the cooling fan off.
When checking the ignition timing, move the shift lever to N.
Warm up and stop the engine.
When using the intelligent tester:
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Allow the engine to idle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / IGN Advance.
Read IGN Advance to check the ignition timing.
| Standard ignition timing |
|---|
| 5 to 15° BTDC @ idle |
Check that the ignition timing advances immediately when the engine speed is increased.
Turn the engine switch off.
Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.
When not using intelligent tester:
Remove the No. 1 engine cover Click here.
Open the ignition cover located to the right of the No. 4 ignition coil.
Pull out the wire harness from the IG cover.
Connect a timing light to the wire harness.
Note
Use a timing light that detects primary signals.
| *1 | Front view of DLC3: |
Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Allow the engine to idle and check the ignition timing.
| Standard ignition timing |
|---|
| 8 to 12° BTDC @ idle |
Tech Tips
Run the engine at 1000 to 1300 rpm for 5 seconds, and then check that the engine speed returns to the idling speed.
Remove SST from the DLC3.
Allow the engine to idle and check the ignition timing.
| Standard ignition timing |
|---|
| 5 to 15° BTDC |
Check that the ignition timing advances immediately when the engine speed is increased.
Turn the engine switch off.

Close the IG cover.
Install the No. 1 engine cover Click here.
INSPECT ENGINE IDLE SPEED
Note
Turn all the electrical systems and the A/C off.
Inspect the ignition timing with the cooling fan off.
When checking the ignition timing, move the shift lever to N.
When using intelligent tester:
Turn off all the accessories and air conditioning.
Move the shift lever to P.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Warm up the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine SPD.

INSPECT CO
Tech Tips
This check is used only to determine whether or not the idle CO complies with regulations.
Initial condition:
Engine at normal operating temperature
Air cleaner installed
All pipes and hoses of the air induction system connected
All accessories switched off
All vacuum lines properly connected
SFI system wiring connectors fully seated
Ignition timing set correctly
Shift lever in N
Tachometer and CO meter calibrated with engine idling
Note
If a CO meter is not available, do not attempt to adjust the idle mixture. Always use a CO meter when adjusting the idle mixture. It is unnecessary to use the idle mixture screw for adjustments if the vehicle is in good condition.
Warm up the engine by driving at a constant speed (approximately 50 km/h (31 mph)). Release the accelerator pedal after the engine coolant temperature becomes stable (85 to 90°C (185 to 194°F)) and idle the engine for 5 minutes.
Insert a tester probe at least 40 cm (1.31 ft) into the tailpipe.
Wait at least 1 minute before measurement to allow the concentration to stabilize. Complete the measurement within 3 minutes.
| Idle CO concentration |
|---|
| 1.0 to 2.0% |
If the CO concentration does not conform to regulations, adjust it by turning the idle mixture adjusting screw in the variable resistor with SST.
The idle mixture adjusting screw can be adjusted within a 180° range.
Tech Tips
If the CO concentration is within the specification, this adjustment is complete.
If the CO concentration cannot be corrected by idle mixture adjustment, see the table below for other possible causes.
Remove SST.
| CO | Problems | Causes |
|---|---|---|
| High | Rough idle (black smoke from exhaust) |
