Distributor timing is the process of adjusting the timing of the spark plugs in a gasoline engine. This is done to ensure that the spark plugs fire at the correct time in relation to the piston’s position in the cylinder. Adjusting distributor timing can improve engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions.
The importance of distributor timing cannot be overstated. If the timing is off, the engine will not run properly. This can lead to a loss of power, poor fuel economy, and increased emissions. In severe cases, it can even damage the engine.
