NicksRolla Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have tried to check my timing on my 1991 Corolla with a 4AFE. The plugs wont come out of the cap so I can check. Do I need a new cap or is there another way to connect the timing light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Timing light just clips around cylinder 1 spark plug cable? You shouldn't have to undo anything to connect timing light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicksRolla Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 the timing light I have has like a coil that you attach to something. My step dad was trying to figure it out. maybe a new timing light needs to be bought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 This is the onyl timing light ive used... http://www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_18435.jpg if yours has a coil, then perhaps its designed to go around the ignition lead (so the ignition lead can induce a current in the coil) you got a pic of the 4afe cap? the plugs should just come off? yours look like this? http://www.am-autoimages.com/partphoto/EDC/AM-36199898/middle_1.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might either get a new cap or buy a new timing light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
