How do you find the ignition time on a Nissan?

The No. 1 spark plug wire will be labeled as No. 1 on the end of it. Shine the timing light on the pulley connected to the engine’s crankshaft. Check where the timing mark on the pulley falls compared with the degree tab on the front of the engine and you will be able to see what the current ignition time is.

How do you change ignition timing on a Nissan 300ZX?

Step on the gas to bring the engine to an idle speed of 750 rpm. This will warm up the engine so that it can indicate the correct ignition timing when you check it in Step 5. Exit your 300ZX, allowing the rpm level to go back to zero. Open the hood to work on your engine.

What should the ignition timing be on a Nissan Leaf?

The No. 1 spark plug wire will be labeled as No. 1 on the end of it. Shine the timing light on the pulley connected to the engine’s crankshaft. Check where the timing mark on the pulley falls compared with the degree tab on the front of the engine and you will be able to see what the current ignition time is.

How do you adjust the timing on a Nissan?
