Does detonation only occur when the car is cold?

Some people on here get different readings sometimes when they try the different methods. With the VE, you can TRY to hook it through the #1 coil pack wire. The easiest way is use that loop. It works great for me.

If that doesn't seem to work out for ya, then use the other methods. Maybe Nissan knew that some timing lights work and some don't, so they explained 3 methods.

If you have plug wires, which most cars do, then just hook to the #1 wire. That's easy enough. But the VE and other cars with coil packs are a little different.
