What is the timing setting for a 1999 dodge ram 1500 5.2 liter?

There isn't a single "timing setting" for a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L engine. The ignition timing is computer-controlled, meaning it's constantly adjusted by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) based on various engine parameters like engine speed, load, temperature, and throttle position.

You cannot manually adjust the timing on this engine like you could on older, distributor-equipped vehicles. Any attempt to do so will likely damage the engine or the PCM.

If you suspect a timing issue, you need to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the problem using a scan tool capable of reading the PCM data and checking for any trouble codes. The problem might be related to the crank or camshaft sensor, the ignition system, the PCM itself, or even something else entirely.
