Timing Question???
I went to time my car today i used the fsm and went step by step warmed car up grounded check connector. Hooked timing light up to L1 its dead on at degrees ATDC...then i hooked to T1 and dialed my timing light to 20 degrees...to my suprise its off i dialed down the timing light to see what the trailing is actually firing at and it is right around 5 degrees like the leading is. Yes, i double checked i was on the right wires and i know that the yellow on the pulley is the leading and the trailing should be red. What my question is how would you adjust trailing timing??? Or does the ecm control this, or maybe something might be wrong with one of the sensors??? Anyone, please help me figure this out. Stock car with no mods 91n/a.

iv'e got to turn the dial of the timing light to about 5 degrees to get it to line up with the red mark on the pulley with the inductive clamp on T1, it is supposed to line up at with red mark at 20...just to clarify

At the yellow mark, it will line up with L1 with the timing gun set at 0.
At the red mark, it will line up with T1, with the timing gun set at 0.
This ONLY works if your idle is lower than ~950.
