I am working on a 1998 model and a 2000 model. What is the timing spec for each and is there any special detail in setting it...ie ground a jumper wire, or unplugging a plug or anything like that? On the tag(s) on the engines it says "see manual" which I don't have.

What is the spark plug # for these?

What is the oil filter # for these?

Both engines use the AC MR43LTS spark plugs, and timing is 8? BTDC.
It has to be put into base timing mode by putting a jumper in the 10 way DLC (Data Link Connector) as shown below.

If you to to the top of the page where it says Volvo parts, you can get all the part numbers you need.

Thank you very much Don and thanks for pointing out the link to parts above. I looked at it and when loking up parts for the GSI 5.7L......what do the numbers after 5.7 mean like this.... PBYCCE or PEFE or PLKD and so on and so on???? Is this something I need off the engine to order parts?
