Is there any tricks to setting the timing on my 96 4 cylinder? Are there any sensors to unplug or anything i need to do?

1997 Emisson Sticker for the 1.3


The spark plug gap is .039 - .043

I have the original service manual, I'm looking for the timing for the 4 cylinder. I'll post when I find the information

Edit: Apparently, the timing is the same as the 3 cylinder. You have to use a jumper wire or gem clip on 2 connectors in the Data Link Connector (behind the driver's side strut on the firewall)

Timing should be 5 degrees + 1 degree at specified idle (refer to Vehicle Emission Control Information Label)

If you are not familiar with the Data Link, I'll post a picture.
