2001 Ignition timing - 05/12/02 10:48 AM
After searching this forum, I did not find the answer...
I wanted to check the Ignition timing on my 2001, 3.3l engine. In my Haynes manual they say thatOn the 2000 it involves putting the PCM (aka the computer) in self-diagnosis mode and starting it. The problem for the 2001 is that there is no documented way to put it into self-diag. mode without using a scanner tool.
Any workaround ?
On some GM product, you can enter the diag. mode by grounding a pin in the plug under the dash. On some other vehicle you had to disconnect a harness going to the distributor before adjusting the timing. Any trick like that on the Nissan 2001 3.3L V6 ?

PCM control of the timing must be disabled before the timing can be checked or adjusted
