Well boykies i used that loop method.i set my light to 30 deg and on the pully it gave me 15 deg.so if thats right, i dont know!?!?!?!?!?!?
one thing i noticed was that when i start my car in the mornings it idles very smooth, but once it reaches Warm up conditions it sounds a bit rough and doesnt idle that smooth.
aaaannnddddd.....
back to the topic.
it seems that the s14 FSM requires you to unplug the TPS when shooting the timing.
regardless of using the induction loop or a high tension lead for the inductive pickup on the timing light, unplugging the TPS instantly gave me about 15-20 degrees of "extra" timing. i've mentioned this in my post about the car being retarded too. how do we take that into account when setting the base timing?
think about it - if you unplug the TPS and set the timing at 20 degrees advanced, as soon as you plug the TPS back in the timing light will tell you that the timing is at TDC! which isn't right for these motors!
but that is the instruction from the manual - so wassup with that??? this also refers to the questions that sokar has been raising!
