Title: Timing
Post by: larrym on June 30 2013, 05:06:00 PM

tuning the car and thought I would put a timing light on it to check the base timing. Gen ll translator with the extender g chip base timing should be 15 degrees the light shows 25 does that mean when I set the timing to 20 degrees at WOT am I really at 30?

No...I forget the "how it works", but every time this question comes up, the answer is 20

Apparently I have to put it in diagnostic mode and it than reads as 15 like it should.
The G chip adds timing at idle.
