I have a question regarding which terminal I ground before setting the timing. I am checking my timing after replacing the timeing belt and water pump.

There are two terminals side by side on my fire wall. One Black and one Tan. I am not positive but I think I used the tan colored terminal the last time I did this. I just want to double check before I ground something. The picture in the Haynes manual shows it near the wiper motor on the passenger side. But my wiper motor is on the drivers side and there are not terminals on that side only on the passenger side.

Any thoughts?

While using the timing light on the marks, ground one of the wires and see if the timing moves close to factory spec. I think the other wire is just a fuel pump check terminal, and grounding it won't hurt. It wants 12v+ to check fuel pump run.

use a test light. no risk of damage this way.


probe 1 and if it lights while cranking thats the fuel pump terminal.

IIRC the connector you want for timing is the tan one.

I think it's the brown, too...

The tan terminal is the one. The other terminal had power. Thanks for the help.
