Which terminal do you jump to set the timing on a 1989 Toyota pickup with 22r-e engine?

To set the timing on a 1989 Toyota pickup with a 22R-E engine, there are no terminals that you need to jump. Instead, you will need to use a timing light to adjust the ignition timing. Below are the steps to set the timing on your Toyota pickup:

Step 1: Park the vehicle and put it in neutral

Step 2: Connect the timing light to the battery and the spark plug wire on cylinder number 1.

Step 3: Start the truck and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature.

Step 4: Locate the timing marks on the engine; typically, they are located near the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft sprocket. Turn the timing marks until they are aligned.

Step 5: While holding the timing light, aim it at the timing marks on the engine. You will see a bright flash of light when the spark plug fires.

Step 6: Adjust the distributor until the timing light flash aligns with the timing marks on the engine. Tighten the distributor hold-down bolt once the timing is correct.

Step 7: Disconnect the timing light and turn off the truck.

Note: Your vehicle may have different steps or components for setting timing. It's always best to refer to a repair manual or a professional mechanic for accurate guidance on your specific model.
