I am going to check my timing for the first time, and have read before about disconnecting the brown EST wire. I can't seem to find it on my car, do I not have one, and if so what do I disconnect?

What you need to unplug is the 4 wire connector coming off of your distributer. It isn't the plugs that are actually mounted on the cap, but a flat connector that four wires running off of the dirstributer run into. It shouldn't be too hard to find but can get hidden behind some things. I've done this several times on an '86 lg4 so I'm sure yours is the same as mine.
