Computed Timing Check
Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. Using jumper wire or test equipment, activate KOER SELF-TEST . If engine starts and stalls (or stalls during self-test), go to CIRCUIT TEST S in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Start engine, and check for following:
- If Code 98 or 998 is displayed, EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM). Vehicle cannot be diagnosed in KOER SELF-TEST; rerun KOEO SELF-TEST .
- Check computed timing after last service code has been displayed. Timing will remain fixed for 2 minutes after last code has been retrieved unless self-test is deactivated.
- Computed timing, at crankshaft, should equal base timing (see vehicle emission decal) plus 20 degrees BTDC. This timing may vary 3 degrees (+/-). If computed timing is within specification, perform KOER SELF-TEST . If timing is not within specification, go to step 2) of CIRCUIT TEST PB (DIS) or PC (EDIS). See TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
