Hi fellas... Got a question that I hope will result in a quick and straightforward answer.
I have a Haynes manual for my 95 Max. In an effort to sort out the pinging issue in this brutal heat, I set out to check and set my timing.
I drove the truck into the workshop (hot after a drive home from work) and got the manual out to read while it cooled down a bit. As per the Haynes instructions I removed the cap from the timing terminal and grounded it with a jumper. I go to start the truck and it refuses to even attempt to start.... I disconnect the timing jumper and try to start... Nothing.
I jump on here to look for a possible hint at what the heck is going on and discover that the Haynes manual shows the wrong terminal to use for base timing. Instead of jumping the brown (round) connector I jumped the white connector it's bundled with.
Now I'm in panic mode... I checked all fuses and fusible links and they are all fine. What the hell did I mess up by grounding that mystery wire?
