Anyone have a procedure or any quick tips on how to check timing on a 2G. If I remember correctly isn't their a plug that needs to be grounded?

thanks
 
You can hook up a timing light to see what it is but you can't move the sensors to change it.

But wire in a 1g cas and eliminated the 2g cam and crank sensors and you can.

I just wanna check an verify it is correct with what the ecu is doing, as for as advancing the timing. I can do that through DSMlink

thanks
 
My Guess is that its correct since you havn't messed with replacing the Cams's. With zero advance, you should be getting around 16 degrees of total timing I believe.

go to VFAQ 1g cas in a 2g

Follow the timing setting proceedures for the timing light to check the stock timing against the DSM link.
