hey guys, another dumb question, I think. I want to set the timming after haveing the dist. out of a 93 eclipse 1.8 . The book i have says 2 put a ground jumper from ignition test connecter to a good ground, this plug on my car has 2 **** inside that thing. Do I ground both **** or one of them ? Thanks fore any help Sam

 

It should only have one wire and that goes to ground.

 

Thanks dsm1990gsx, I went back and looked closer at that timming wire & it does have 2 **** in it.on closer inspection I notice the 2 **** are made of rubber or are little covers on them, the only single wire is black & goes 2 a condencer 2 ground. Am I looking in the wrong place ? over by the battery.

 

It should be over by the battery, but theres gonna be two similar connector one for ign timing adjustment and the other is a fuel pump test connector. The one you want has a yellow wire w/ a red tracer.

 

Thanks again dsm I will get out tomorrow and set the timeing, I'll check back in and let u know how it turns out.

 

dsm1990, I found that wire and all went well, thanks 2 you much you saved me alot of time and also you taught me a thing or 2 that i will always be able to use in the future , so thanks again. sam

 

No problem.

 

dsm1990gsx----I had that car running like a new one the wife blue the heater hose ran the dang thing and blue a new headgasket its apart again which one shoud i keep her or the car LOL,,,LOL Sam.

 

That sucks, well at least the head gaskets are easy to replace on the 1.8.

 

very true, but dang it sure is cold outside, but i bet there wont be any bad hoses on it after this. I suppose it was supper good luck that the head was not warped or cracked because it got all 4 clinders on the gasket, strange, it had 2 be relly hot but i started it up and it ran fine , so i put water in it and it blowed it back out but it never did miss a lick. now she wants me to change it over 2 auto trany. can this be done with this bisy? like we use 2 do the old cars back in the day?
