You don't generally measure the timing on cars with non adjustable timing, because you can't adjust it so there's no point. > Is it easy to correct the timing as well as check it? It is easy, but why would your timing be off? I think you're jumoing too far ahead. Something you did while changing the cap and rotor has stopped the engine from running. You need to figure out what that was, not go messing with the timing. -- Grunff
