1994 Isuzu Rodeo Question Timing

turning the distributor adjusts the timing, if it wont start, check out to see if its getting spark first before you mess with timing. If not check and replace ignition wires, plugs, cap and button. Then check to see if you are getting fuel. putting a 1/2oz shot of fuel in intake should make it run for 3-4 seconds. if it doesnt check fuses, relays, fuel filter, fuel pump.
