That's why your timing is way out then.
Umm going by what's in other threads as it's been a while since i did it
"EA and EB1 have a white with red trace wire near the brake booster which needs to be earthed. If you look at the lable on the radiator support panel it tells you"

From memory it's in a connector with a few pins so look for the pin that corresponds to the red/white wire and then run a wire from it to ground. You will hear the engine speed change etc. check the timing then, i think you only have a couple minutes before it goes out of diagnostics mode so be quick.

Found my manual
it says, switch engine ogg and jumper the wire, start the engine, it should run at 1300-1600rpm for a short period. Check the timing and set it to the IGN mark (one on the left i think)
you have 2 minutes to do it in.

if your timing is fluctuating and the car is running like crap, check for side to side movement in the dizzy shaft, your dizzy could be worn

could also be a rooted harmonic balancer not allowing you even set the timing accuratly in the first place.
