ok i might sound like a newbe so bare with me and yes ive seareched!! ok after you set the timing are there any steps to get it out of timing mode after reconnecting the tps? or just just reconnect the tps and your done with timing mode?

you did? you have the rite number? (909) 379-2698 ok when i disconect the tps idle jumps to 1500? is it suposed to do that? i warmed it up reved it 3 times and shut it off. then when i disconect the tps and start it up it jumps to that 1500. with the idle that high it looks like the timing marks at 19*. ?????? should i lower the air valve to drop the rpm's to 800?

Yea, the base idle ( idle with TPS disconnected ) should be around 900 ... you will have to get it around 900 to get true timing ....

so then lower the air idle control valve to drop it to 900 rather then the 1500 that i jumps up to and time it there?

Right. If you look at the FSM it tells you to make sure the base idle is set correctly before you check timing.

ok cool thanks ill give it a try. i dont have a fsm i need to get one. oh yeah are the timing marks on the avenier 0,5,10,15,20?

ok i did my timing it was at 17* so i redid it now at 15* but now that i lowered the air idle control the idle is really low like 650-700 rpm. do u turn up back up to the 800k? if i do this would it affect the timing??????

What does the FSM say the base idle should be set at? 750 +- 50? Adjust it to that spec and re-check the timing. it should be pretty damn close.

As far as gettign the FSM I swear you can download it from a post here on the forums. do yourself a favor and DL the thing.
