ok just about everybody messed with the timing on my car so i think thats whats givin me trouble now. so what i need to know is well the car the lowest sustained idle i can get is 1000rpms how accurate will that make it when i check the timin? will it be enough to make it run better to where i can try an get the idle lower or not???

 

If it is TRULY at or below 1000 rpm, imho you can set the timing with a timing light. I'm fairly sure/positive that the rpm that the ECU makes the timing advance, is closer to 1100rpm.

 

yeah it will run at 1000 the best i could get was about 850 but it sat there for a few seconds an then died. one thing that makes me really think the timing is off is it has the sound of a piston car runnin with the valves tapping

 

i have got the timin perfect on car. please delete this thread now. as i can not figure out how to do it myself

 

Did you jumper the timing advance to stop it? And you cant delet your threads here.

 

Wait what do you mean jumper the timing advance!?
