I have a 92 Sentra with 126,000 miles. I just got the smog done on it,
it
passed the emissions part but it failed the "functional" part because
the
Ignition Timing is off. It says Fail: Ignition Timing 8 BTDC. I was
wondering if anyone knows what it's
supposed to be set at. Could I fix this problem myself or do I have to
take it to a mechanic?

the fsm says its supposed to be 10 BTDC (+ or - 2 degrees) east to set
with a timing light.
