Subject:      How to set engine timing..
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

I have a question about setting the timing on a 2.1L

First off , which is the #1 cylinder? Is it the one nearest the front on the passenger side of the van?

I've hooked up my timing light, disconnected the temp sensor II, but when I try to hold a 2200 rpm, the engine starts adjusting the rpms by itself making it hard to set the timing. Am I missing a step?

I notice on the Vanagon dealer service tape they have the additional step of blocking the crankcase breather tube. Is this necessary?

I can't seem to get the timing set because whenever I rev to 2200 rpm the engine tries to adjust the rpms.

thanks,

Todd '88 WEsty
