Are there any off the shelf scanners that can check ignition timing?

Or even the Nissan consult? I can't tell because fsm doesn't show anything about being able to check it with the Consult in the ignition timing section.

I failed smog cuz timing was off and I want to double check my "eyecrometer" measurement if possible before I go back in again.

Thanks.

None that i know of. Iirc only obd2+ can, if that. I only do my timing with nissan consult which is only used to lock the ecu from adjusting timing so its suuuuper easy to check/change timing with a timing gun.

Hmm... My results show 31 btdc and I don't even see how that's possible to get a measurement like that by eye since the last tick is 20 degrees.

Which is why I'm curious, unless I got hustled.

on what car? what motor? can you say more info about your car? if you have access to a timing gun then search google so you can check where is your timing at.

Damn I really wish it showed what car we owned below our avatar cuz its in my profile. Anyway bone stock 97. I did check with timing gun that's why I said I wanted to double check my "eyecrometer" measurement with a scanner if possible.

I never said that to offend you. I was just saying it in general so I don't have to type it in everytime I make a thread.

I answered all your questions you asked, I'm assuming you are knowledgeable about what I'm asking if you took the time to look at my thread.
