Hi all Just a quicky question... can the revs give you some indication that you're timing is right or wrong ? My revs are constant at 700rpm , so can I assume that it's still ok ? or do you have to check the timing with a timing light or something ? Any advise will be appreciated. |

It will probably idle fine if the timing is out. Only way to check is to use the markings on the cam pulleys/crank pulley. I thought mine were out after I had the belt changed, but in actual fact they did the job right, the first garage yet for me. Last garage didn't tighten my wheel nuts. |

Thanks, I'll get the timing light in there and check ... do you know what the timing should be ? |

Don't know to be honest. http://www.club323f.com/club323f/forum/ ... php?t=2705 I got confused so just rotated the crank by hand and used a dial test indicator. |

There's some funky thing you have to do that involves shorting two terminals in the diagnostic socket in the engine bay. This over-rides the ECU timing, otherwise the ECU keeps adjusting the ignition timing while you are adjusting it, resulting in unpredictable results ..... |
