Message	to the spark plug . make sure the engine is FULLY warmed up . make sure you shoot the timing from about 10 to 11 degrees , not straight down . And see what the ecu is reading in comparison to the base timing . Also if you are still getting crazy #'s flip your timing light pickup 180 degrees and see if it changes . Always check it with a second timing light before you dive into the timing belt ..... dont ask me how I know :)
