Power for the strobe comes directly from the vehicle's battery. Self-contained units used to time automotive engines have an inductive pickup that clamps around the proper spark plug wire and serves as the trigger for the strobe.

Timing lights using xenon strobe lamps electronically triggered by the spark provide brighter light, allowing use of the timing lamp under normal shop lighting or daylight conditions.Ī timing light may be a self-contained instrument, but is sometimes combined with a voltmeter, RPM meter, and a dwell angle meter, or may be incorporated into a more comprehensive instrument such as an engine analyser. Simple timing lights may just contain a neon lamp operated by the energy provided by the ignition circuit.

In few cases an engine is timed off another cylinder, such as the International Harvester V8 engines, which use #8, and the Isuzu 4Z series four-cylinder, which is timed off the #4 cylinder, or the 3 cylinder Saab two-stroke engine which is timed on the middle (#2) cylinder. On most automotive engines, the timing is set based on the #1 cylinder. Fortunately, I recurve my distributors so that all the advance is in before 3300, so I still use my digital dial back light.

The distributor can be rotated slightly until the reference pointer aligns with the specified point on the timing scale.įuel-injected engines, or engines with microprocessor controls may require special procedures to allow basic spark timing to be observed without control effects from the engine computer. At about 3300-3500 rpm, my digital timing light starts to pick up the multiple discharges. A reference pointer is attached to the flywheel housing or other fixed point, and an engraved scale gives the offset between the spark time and the top dead centre position of the piston in the cylinder. The apparent position of the marks, frozen by the stroboscopic effect, indicates the current timing of the spark in relation to piston position. Made from a heavy-duty, ABS, shock proof housing it has a molded boot for extra protection against the engine fan blades and a backlit screen for easier viewing in hard to see places.

The timing light is connected to the ignition circuit and used to illuminate the timing marks on the engine's crankshaft pulley or flywheel, with the engine running. The INNOVA Pro Digital Timing Light is the professional choice for a high-quality timing light that will stand up daily shop use. Modern electronically controlled passenger vehicle engines require use of a scan tool to display ignition timing. The black clamp connects to the battery -, the red clamp to +, the green one to the breaker side of the coil (for RPM), the big black clamp in the foreground is an inductive pick-up that clamps around a spark plug wire.Ī timing light is a stroboscope used to dynamically set the ignition timing of an Otto cycle or similar internal combustion engine equipped with a distributor. Timing light, combination instrument with RPM, volt meter and dwell angle meter.
