i went to go advance my timing today so i figured it be at 16 stock (1992 GSR)
and it was at 11 i always ran the car on 93 octane but it did seem pretty slow in the low end but i was used to non vtec where power hits early so i just figured this from the torqueless b17

timing is now at 18 and the car is much faster and respnsive

the guy who owned this car b4 me was a good guy and he kept the car in mint so WTF...any damage happen from this....

thanks

Just to make sure, you did have the engine at normal operating temperature, and the diagnostic connector jumped when you checked and set the timing, correct?

 

yes sir

we had the jumper (paper clip) in and the timing gun said rpm was at around 800

so i kno everything is right...

theres no pinging

my brother is a mechanic and i know he did everything right and i checked the lil marks as well just for a second opinion...

 

Only thing I can think of is that at 11 deg. BTDC, the fuel might not have been burning completely (not sure if that would happen or not). Check your plugs to make sure they aren't fouled, you might need to replace them.

 

ichecked the plugs a week ago and they were good but i am going to replace them wwith iridiums soon

maybe my brother accidently moved the dizzy and when he checked it it was at 11

nevertheless its at 18 now....

please disgard this thread
