So everytime after I'm done adjusting the timing(red mark was flush within the ">" shaped thing you aim the gun at)I turn the car off(accessories and all) & pull the jumper from the service connector. I go to recheck the timing and the red mark specified by my Haynes manual is nowhere in sight. What am I doing wrong?

The manual says once dist. fasteners are tightened up, switch engine OFF. Then unhook jumper wire.

Now I can google the definition of off, but by off does it mean just the engine or all accessories too?

 

anyone? if this ?? was dumb just bare with me

 

youre adjusting base timing with ecu jumpered ... when u unjumper it the ecu starts varying timing as its supposed to ... completely normal dont worry about it

 

as rpms go up it will advance up to 37 degrees or so
