Hey guys,

Just wondering whats going on.

I checked my timing yesterday and discovered that it was at ~20deg
that probably explains why I was getting rubber in 1st and 2nd LOL

but I tried to turn it back with the cps and the lowest I could get was 15deg


Anyone have any ideas on what to check?

Thanks

did you jump the terminals to put it in timing mode?

You might have to pull out the cps and turn it back one tooth to get it below 15*. Thats waht I had to do on my 7m, exept my base timing was at like 30* when I first got my car!!!!

Yes I did jump e1 and te1 - but I did not notice any change in the idle or changes at all for that matter - so i was wondering about that?

I put the probe on #6 too which is correct no?

Thanks

How could the timing change that much though. I adjusted it to 12* 3 years ago and havent had anything apart?

In that case, check your timing belt/cam gear alignment

Make sure your timing light knob is at set to 0 if you have a fancy light.

i thought the probe went on 1?

make sure you jump E and T1 to get the correct reading

Doesn't matter.

Were you idling at 650rpms?

knock sensor's ok? i had some timing problems once. after some looking around found one of my knock sensors was unpluged. just an idea.

i would say your timming belt has possible worn.
rest ecu to check the knock sensor.
