[shamrock246]

Do you guy's have any recomendation on a Laptop based or hand held scan tool that i can check/set the crank to cam correlation on my 97 4x4 burb i took the dizzy out to do the intake manifold gaskets the light was on for crank to cam correlation but moveing the dizzy in small incraments in the direction of rotation got the light to turn off and it starts fine and seems to run good with no light no pending codes

any used ones i could look out for on ebay

you can browse the related scan tool at Allobd2.com, I am its old customer, the scan tool is cheap and easy to operate.

What light are you turning off?
Near as I can tell you are adjusting the timing. The crank to cam correlation is fixed by the timing chain, that may or may not be warn.Not adjustable as far as I know. You seem to be twisting the distributor body and adjusting the cam sensor and the timing. Am I way off?

I use an auto xray because I used a friends a few times and found a good deal on one.

http://www.autoxray.com/product_detail.php?pid=94 I paid less than half that for a new one. Works great for me.

I have been looking at this one as it sez it does airbags.

Timing on these needs to be set by using a scan tool to watch cam retard and rotate the distributor to set cam retard to 0+/-2 degrees

My light isn't on and there are no pending codes,i was looking to do the procedure that dave89iroc is talking about the scan tool has to have bi-directional control,i hear that the light can be off and the cam retard can still be out more than 0 +/-2 degrees,i was told that the OTC Genisys series does this a little pricey right know but if it will do everything i would need to do on this truck and on my other cars it might be worth it,i found some Snap-on mt2500's on ebay that are a good option but probably will not work on my newer cars,i bought the torque pro app to watch the ingition timing but i am still waiting for the bluetooth adapter,the laptop based ones i've found don't have bi-directional controll for the 97 but they do for the 98
