there is still some degree of "timing" ie setting the timing chain up correctly, otherwise no degree of computer advance or retardation can fix it. but there should be marks on both the cam and the crank along with the engine block to line it up right
There is no need to set the timing on the 4.0l engine, sensors tell the computer where the crankshaft is, and the computer decides when to inject fuel, how much fuel to inject, when and how much spark to be at the optimum efficiancy. The days of being concerned with how to set the timing are history, the computer is able to adjust the timing as it runs, and make the adjustments per conditions at all times while it is running.
It is self adjusting on a 89 Cherokee with a in line 6 4.0
The timing on a 1989 Dodge truck should be set to 10* after unplugging the temperature sensor.
where are timing marks on 89 ford probe 4 cylinder I have the bottom not the top
10 deg BTD, tranny in neutral, spout connecter disconnected
I'm not sure about yours but we used to set them, bottom one straight up and top one straight down.
89 Buick Century uses a timing Chain. Not a belt.
No
i have a 93 4.3 tbi..i set mine at 13deg. works well on 89 octane. 12deg for 87octane at 700rpm
89/100 * 40 = 35.6
yes
yes
Stock ignition timing at idle is 6 deg BTDC +/- 1 deg. I like to set mine for about 7 or 8 deg BTDC. Kyrasis6 Mazdatruckin.com
