So in my timing belt ordeal I was playing the throwing parts at a problem game and switched out my ignition coil and never marked the position in dizzy was at. Got the timing belt done (eventually lol) Car sounds alright sometimes a misfiring idle. I got just about 240miles on my last tank. Before this I was getting like 320-360 on a tank doing deliveries. Im at a quarter tank and I have only put 50 miles of just driving to school and work not even speeding. I replaced my spark plugs after the timing belt plugs are essentially new put them about 2 months back. What exactly is the stock degree on a dizzy and how do I get to that. (1994 celica gt 5sfe)

Lol I did the timing belt. Its running better after reseting the air fuel ratio. When doing the belt we quickly mixed up 2 plug wires had a terrible misfire at that point i dropped it off at a mechanic. They noticed my minor screw up called me up and said cars running good you just mixed up a spark plug wire. What my dumbass did not thinking I reset my airfuel ratio with the mixed wires not thinking AT ALL (I feel real dumb for that one) Had my teacher whose been ASE certified with toyota for 30yrs check my car out and drive it he said it drove perfectly in his experience with 6GCs. Im gonna assume my dumb mistake of setting it like that is what did it. Pretty happy as of now driving it. I just gotta keep her running decently until I can get my hands on a stick celica lol or find the time to do a manual swap but that scares me little too much haha
