INJECTOR TIMING METER - 2.4L DIESEL - PROCEDURE


LINCOLN-MERCURY 1984 CONTINENTAL/MARK VII

CALIBRATIONS: All with 2.4L Diesel engines

An inoperative timing meter or erroneous readings can be caused by missing or bent timing pins.

If, when using the Rotunda timing meter model 078-00100, erroneous readings and/or inoperative condition is present, the following is recommended:

1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove converter housing access grill, located at bottom of converter housing.
3. Verify that two pins are attached to rear of flywheel (it may be necessary to rotate crankshaft).

Figure 22:

If one or both pins are bent or missing, meter will not function (Figure 22).

Incorrect information was published in the directions (included with timing adapters) sent to dealerships. It stated the offset adjustment specification was -20.0~.

The correct specification for 49S engines is -21.2~ (4-40A-RXX calibrations) and the correct specification for California engines -20.0~ (4-40S-RXX calibrations).
