My daughter’s 2000 Honda Civic EX (D16Y8 engine), no mention of ignition
timing number on the label sticker on car hood. I purchased it brand new &
now gave her the car.

Here are my questions, coming from a woman that know very little about
cars. Now, I like replying and asking in simple questions:
1. I have a Timing Light Gun that I can turn the number (has dial number),
what number
do I turn or set it at?
2. I can see a total of 4 Lines on the Crankshaft Pulley:
* * (RED) * *
(White)
3. With the Green Plug shorted with a wire & letting the car ran to normal
temperature.
4. Three 12mm Bolts on Distributor are loose.
5. Black Lead to Negative of Battery, Red Lead to Positive of Battery, Red
Probe Lead
opened/closed on Spark Plug #1 (right side) & Trigger on Timing Light
pressed.
6. Do I turn the Timing Light Gun to 0 or 12 (I see no listing on 2000
Honda Civic EX
with engine # D16Y8)?

FYI (For your information):
If I set the Dial on Zero (0), then the Red Line (Center of the three) in
on Target with Site for the plastic cover of the Timing Belt.
If I turn the Dial to Twelve (12), then the White Line (Line by itself on
extreme right) is Center with those two Target sites.

So I am confused with the bad instruction found /or they are not clear from
the internet posting.

Do I turn the Dial to 0 (Zero) and adjust for Red or White?
or
Do I turn the Dial to 12 (Twelve, not showing on her 2000’s Civic) and
adjust for Red?

Winter gets very cold here and she has lost her jobs.
Any advise or suggestion would be appreciated coming from Russia.

jummped the blue connector start the car let it warm up to normal temp.I
set it to 15 °+2° what the smog tech told me.I drove the car around for a
while,and when I went back to check my trimming I notice it was off
again.but when I jump the connector it sets itself back to what I set it
to.is that normal?
