How to Set the Ignition Timing With No Timing Marks
- Mark the spark plug wires for the cylinder number using a short piece of masking tape on each wire.
- Rotate the engine clockwise and observe the valves on the number one cylinder.
What should ignition timing be at idle?
Idle/staging is typically 55 degrees to ignite the cylinders with a rich idle mixture. Launch typically 50-53 degrees adjusted for an optimum power at launch. Bring the timing back to typically 50-57 degrees for the remainder of the run to restore power.
What happens if ignition timing is too advanced?
Advancing the timing means the plug fires earlier in the compression stroke (farther from TDC). Advance is required because the air/fuel mixture does not burn instantly. It takes time for the flame to ignite the all the mixture. However, if the timing is advanced too far, it will cause an Engine Knock.
What happens if cam timing is off?
If the engine timing of the cam is off, your car will either be running rough or not at all. If the ignition timing is the problem, it isn’t as easy to notice because it has four cycles: Intake valve sucks in air while fuel is delivered by the injectors. The fuel mixture is reduced.
Can you set timing without a timing light?
