Connect a timing light according to the manufacturers instructions to the Number 1 (front) spark plug cable. Run the engine at 2500 rpm.

what is the cam timing specification for mitsubishi 4M51 engine?
It does not have one. You can not use a timing light on that year engine. The timing is computer controled. You MUST have an engine scanner to set the timing.
It has a timing belt. And it also has an interference engine. At NAPA's online website, where it shows the timing components for vehicles, you can determine whether it has a timing chain, or belt. And if it has an interference engine, that is usually shown as a comment by the belt (by part # and such). AFTER you have chosen your engine size also. If you do not choose your engine size also, the information by Napa's timing beltwill not show up. And it also appears to not show up as a comment by the OTHER brands of timing belts. I just now figured that last part out! With an interference engine, it often damages a number of internal parts on the engine, if the timing belt snaps, and part of the engine stops, while the other parts of the engine spin freely. --Tom.
