1. Ensure idle speed is between 700 -800 rpm. Connect Honda PGM tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). Select SCS menu option and follow scan tool instructions.

2. Start engine and run at 3000 RPM, with no loads and transmission in Park or Neutral, until radiator fan comes on. Allow engine to idle. Connect inductive timing light to test loop, located at No. 1 ignition coil (may be identified with White tape). Aim timing light toward pointer on timing belt cover. Red mark on crankshaft pulley should align with pointer on front of engine. See Fig. 3 . If timing is not as specified (Red mark and pointer are not aligned), replace ECM/PCM. Timing is not adjustable.

Sorry, I missed it out.

Ignition timing should be between 8 - 12 degrees @ 630 -730 rpm.
