Hey All, I would like to ask for some help. I was trying to check my ignition timing before I went for a smog check. But when I jump TE1 and E1, the car starts idling really rough and would almost die (did one time too). Would anyone know where I should start looking? The car idles and drives perfectly fine. I did take apart my car when I replaced the head gasket. But I had a neighbor was is a mechanic check the camshaft and crankshaft timing. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the reply Special_Edy. I really appreciate the thorough explanation. I will be sure to check the base timing. I noticed that in the manual they instruct to check idling rpm with a tachometer connected to the diagnosis port. Do you think reading the in dash tachometer would be sufficient enough? Thanks
