About to try to set my timing this weekend, don't have a nissan consult so I'm going to attempt it with a timing light
Says in haynes to unplug the TPS (throttle position sensor) but says online to unplug the "throttle valve switch"
I know the idea is to keep the timing marks from jumping around by setting certain values in the ECU to stay the same, but I don't know what to unplug
Also read you can short out the diagnostic plug to put it in diagnostic mode, the one where if the engine was off it would flash codes at you, but if the engine is on it locks the timing?
Which of these should I do?
