On all models with distributorless electronic ignition, manufacturer does not recommend checking ignition timing, as faulty readings are common and timing is not adjustable. Timing specification given is for reference purposes only.
Timing is not adjustable.

Idle speed is controlled by PCM and is not adjustable. Idle speed specifications are for reference only. If engine idle concerns are present, check for contaminated fuel, vacuum leaks and incorrect ignition timing. Ensure throttle bore, EGR system and PCV system are clean. If these are okay, check PCM for DTCs.
