My 1984 4 plus 3 is bogging above 3000 rpm. So I checked the fuel pressure. It is above 15 psi. So decide to check the timing. I have some small misses at idle. But the car idles at 700 rpm when it is warmed up and frankly runs good. So I put a timing light and cannot find the mark. I shut the car remark the mark and restart the car. Still no mark and I did disconnect the EST wire.
So bring the engine up to TDC, pull the cap and the rotor points to number one. So I screwed with the timing and now have a rough idle and more misses and bogging at lower RPM.
I am thinking of putting the light on number six. And also lifting the car putting the light on number one and getting under the car to find the mark. The engine has 74 K on it. I set the timing. USING the mark about a month ago. Car ran fine except for some bogging at high revs.
Thank you for the help
