8 Checking Vacuum/Electronic Retard and Electronic Advance The procedures for checking vacuum/electronic retard and electronic advance vary between vehicles and manufacturers. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specifications and procedures. A vacuum pump equipped with a vacuum gauge is required to check vacuum retard. TROUBLESHOOTING If the timing light fails to operate or operates erratically, make the following checks: 1. Make sure the battery clips are firmly connected to the battery terminals. Make sure the battery clip polarity is correct (red battery clip is connected to the positive ( +) battery terminal, black battery clip is connected to the negative ( –) battery terminal). Make sure the upper and lower ferrite cores of the inductive pickup clip are clean.
If necessary, clean the inductive pickup clip as described in MAIN- TENANCE. Make sure the inductive pickup clip is properly connected to the No. 1 spark plug cable. Make sure the No. 1 spark plug is working properly: ■ Connect the inductive pickup clip to another spark plug cable, and press the Flash switch. ■ If the timing light flashes, service the No. 1 spark plug before continuing.

NOTE Low spark plug voltage or a faulty spark plug wire may cause the timing light to operate erratically. Try moving the inductive pickup clip to a new location on the plug wire to improve operation. Some ignition systems and/or specialty spark plug wires (solid core wires, racing wires, off- road wires) radiate above normal Electro- Magnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) which can cause improper operation of testing equip- ment. Contact the manufacturers of these parts for instructions on how to use an inductive pickup with their systems.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE INDUCTIVE PICKUP CLIP Dirt or grease on the inside surfaces of the induc- tive pickup clip can result in erratic flashing or poor operation of the timing light. Periodically clean the contact surfaces inside the inductive pick- up clip by wiping with a soft cloth. See Figure 6. REPLACING THE INDUCTIVE PICKUP LEADS The timing light is equipped with detachable leads which can be disconnected from the timing light for easy storage after use. If the test leads or clips become damaged, a replacement set can be obtained from your dealer or directly from the service center. CLEAN CONTACT SURFACES Fig.
