Help on ignition timing pls....
Was it tdc the last mark on crank pulley. If I set to that mark, does the ECU automatic set my timing to stock (16*). Or I have to set it on my own??
Those other 3 mark is just for setting correct? if you need it change..
I'm changing timing belt. I just want to set it back to stock form, with 16* stock ignition..
I'm appreciated for any help HT member...

Once you have the crank pulley at TDC (turn your crank pulley until your cam gear arrows are point straight up. Take out your number one spark plug and put a long straw or 3/8 extension in the #1 hole) When whatever you stuck in the hole reaches its apex you are ready to install the belt.
After that you need to use a timing gun to reset the timing. Hook the connector up to your #1 spark plug wire and aim the light at your crank pulley. It helps to use white out on the TDC crank pulley mark. It is the mark that is solitary. Not the one with two other right next to it. Hope this helps.

Set the camshaft timing first, then set spark timing. The single mark on the crank pulley is right at TDC. That's the one you use for the camshaft timing.
The group of 3 is for spark timing. The bigger (middle) one is 16deg. BTDC. If your timing light has an advance dial setting, set it to ZERO & use that 16deg. mark.

You can do it either way. I use the single TDC degree mark and my set my digital gun to 16 degrees advance. The single mark is easier to see the light on versus the 16 degree mark sandwiched between the 14 degree mark and the 18 degree mark.
But if you don't have a digital gun than use the mark that Blake said.
