The timing is NOT adjustable on your engine. The computer does the adjusting. The position of the distributer is adjustable and must be set with a computer scan tool capable of setting the position of it to within 2 degrees of the spec. A trip to the dealer is a must when removing the distributer -- even if the engine seems to run right...
