Help with timing problem, any suggestions?
Yo guy's. I'm fighting off some demons since putting the civic back together.
Check my sig for my set up.
So anyway the car start and idles like **** at around 500rpm, and I'm only pulling about -10hg of boost, where it would normally be about 25 or 30.
So I have a Z6 cam in my y8 head. The head was also milled.
So I'm thinking this, the y8 head has approx 4 deg more advance than a Z6 cam so right off the bat my cam is now retarded 4deg, plus my head is milled so thats about another 2deg, so my cam is running approx 6 deg of retard right now. This would account for my shitty idle and no power obviously?
I'm also getting a check engine light, would this low vacum I'm running with all the cam retard also cause this?
Do you guy's think I have it nailed down, or at least a good avenue for me to check out. This could simply enough be my problem.

Re: Help with timing problem, any suggestions? (Hybrid)
So anyway I do the timing thing and it runs way better, but still like ****.................if that makes any sense what so ever.
I checked the codes in my ecu and its giving me a bad o2 sensor code. So I start the car and pull the o2 sensor wire while its running and it still runs and runs the same as before, like crap. I haul my plugs and my 1 and 4 are nice and brown and 2 and 3 are black.
So I hope its just the damn o2 sensor, thats a joke! But if its not then I dunno.
My p28 is uberchipped, and even though **** ain't right the car still idles no problem.
