Ive got a stumble/miss going on with my newly swapped 16 valve in my samurai. I would like to check the timing but what wires do I jump on the aldc connecter in order to do this? and is the correct timing 8*? Also from the reading I've done on here in the past hour maybe I have a grounding issue Ive got one ground from the battery to the motor and one from the dizzy to the firewall. should a run a ground from the battery to the firewall as well?.

Thanks
Ben

Hey Ben, hope you are Well !

Anyways, I believe this is the info you are looking for to "freeze the advance" to time properly.

Jumper 4 to 5 (6pin) or C to D (4pin)

Was not sure if you had 4 or 6 pin. (DUH, re-read your post.. you have the 4 pin plug)
I believe you time off the flywheel but not 100% sure on that.

Oh, and a Ground from the Battery to the Body, and a ground from the FRAME to the Motor should be fine. Remember, that your Ground usually goes to the starter in most cases in a "factory" scenario.


And to help you out with the timing, here is the Shop Manual: http://www.acksfaq.com/trackerfsm/96-FSM-v1-6A.pdf

Take care man!

Thanks Val, I thought about timing it off the flywheel but I didnt line up the marks when I installed it, I tried to time it off the front pulley but the marks seem way off. Ive got this crazy miss some times and some times it runs fine so I dont know what the hell is going on, I've got new plugs, wires, cap and rotor and the damn thing is still doing it. got any suggestions? would a bad MAF cause this? it had a hole in it when I bought the tracker it came out of. I epoxied the hole shut but who knows if that worked. Also it sounds like getting a code read off of it is impossible

Hey Ben did you get a 1.6 swap done in Lindsay's samy you bought before you left? I wish I knew how to help we now have 3 16v's and havent had to touch them yet.

we got our little white one together to go beat it up at the rubicon

Nice, That sami is clean! you could possible help me out, do you have an early model 16 valve? I need a picture of the PCV valve and the hoses around it, My haynes manual isnt worth shit for any of this stuff and I think some things are hooked up wrong

Thanks
