Timing question.

How can you tell if a turbo II's timing is off? Will the car run if the timing is off? Lastly if the timing is off how do you adjust it so that the car gets timed right?

the crank angle sensor is how you adjust the timing.

Ok but how can I tell if my timing is off? and is the crank angle sensor the black thing on the driver side with the black flat top that is a circle with a nut on the lower part of it?

Step one: buy a timing light. A cheap one will do. Say twenty bucks

Step two: write back when you get the timing light. Write back in this thread.

Timing is in the free online FSM. The Tuneup chapter. Similar to the following jpgs.
