"Transmission hot idle engine" is a warning message that may appear in your vehicle if the transmission is operating at a higher than normal temperature. It suggests that you should let the engine idle - that is, leave it running without pressing the accelerator - so that the transmission can cool down. Overheating can cause significant damage to a car's transmission, so this warning should be taken seriously. It could indicate low fluid levels, problems with the transmission fluid cooler, or other transmission issues.
Setting the timing on an engine without it running involves manually aligning mechanical components to the correct positions. First, find the engine's top dead center (TDC) on cylinder number 1 - the point in the piston's cycle where it is closest to the spark plug. Rotate the engine manually, usually with a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt, until the timing mark on the pulley aligns with the corresponding mark on the engine block, indicating TDC. If your engine has a timing indicator, use it for precision.
Next, consult your engine's repair manual for the correct timing specifications. Timing is often set slightly before TDC (advanced) for optimal performance. The distributor cap (for engines with distributors) should be removed, and the rotor inside should point to the position for the number 1 spark plug wire. If it doesn't, you may need to adjust the position of the distributor itself.
For engines with electronic ignition systems (no distributor), timing is generally set through an ECU (Engine Control Unit) and requires specific tools like a timing light for adjustment when the engine is running. However, ensuring mechanical alignment as described is a critical first step.
Remember, precise timing is crucial for engine performance and fuel efficiency. Consulting the vehicle's service manual and using proper tools will greatly assist in this task. If unsure, it's advisable to seek professional assistance to avoid potential engine damage.
