Fail: Ignition Timing

Jun 16, 2007 1 Replies

I have a 92 Sentra with 126,000 miles. I just got the smog done on it, it passed the emissions part but it failed the "functional" part because the Ignition Timing is off. It says Fail: Ignition Timing 8 BTDC. I was wondering if anyone knows what it's supposed to be set at. Could I fix this problem myself or do I have to take it to a mechanic?



the fsm says its supposed to be 10 BTDC (+ or - 2 degrees) east to set with a timing light.
