You can't check the timing like that on new computer controlled vehicle, the
jumping is as likely to be the computer doing it's thing. I am not sure of the
procedure for your engine but my 89 Dakota and other DC products I have you had
to pull the plug on the to the temp sensor while the engine is runing to put
the system into limp home mode. That is the only way you can determine the base
timing setting.
Do not use those results as a basis for changing the timing chain.
