OBDII will eventually retard the timing back to the factory settings. Im pretty sure Eddiebx is right about not being able to do adjust it.

 

puahah yeah i wish i was wrong too, kinda sucks cuz it makes it really annoying when you wanna play with cam gears and what not,

but if you look at your dizzy you will see two bolt holes are slotted and the 3rd one is not so thats a no go on moving the dizzy. Plus if you take out the 3rd bolt and you move it around too far your gonna throw a CEL cuz the crank position sensor thats on the oil pump will be too far out of sync with the cam position sensor in the dizzy,

only way to effectively move the timing is get some sort of timing control unit, like a MSD box or what not.

 

now i wonder what should i do. take the car back to the mechanic and have it setup factory the way it came or keep it the way it is? i do have more pickup but thats about it. i like my car quite it and this is too loud.

 

Funny you should say that, cause you need to take your own advice.

kthxbye~

 

uhhmmm, who says 'kthxbye'..i bet you just you dont know shit, just saw that some people think im wrong and want to throw in your two cents... lol anyways, i wasnt lying. Ive seen mods to advance and retard the timing on your cam gears.

 

hmm. i'd chime in...... but its kinda fun just watchin. lol.

 

Dude I was talking about the ignition timing and not valve timing. The ignition timing is normally adjusted by turning the distributor. I just looked at my distributor and I concur that it was not designed to be turned. Also I'm sure they are correct about the ecu ****ing it all up if you did manage to turn the dizzy.

 

I say kthxbye, <3 u and other various lines to people such as yourself. The way you just mentioned to control timing is not the method this post was talking about. Bottom line OBD II > u when you try to control the timing through the dizzy which is what my good man Eddie pointed out to you when you told him to stop feeding misinformation.

<3 u

 

AKUFC: what is <3 I got the jist of OBD II > u , but I don't understand <3 u

 

heheh <3, just a ghetto internet heart icon

and moving the cam gear is like a really really terrible way to move your igintion timing, if your gonna do that, you might as well take off the bolt on the dizzy and turn that instead. cuz moving the cam is gonna throw ur whole power band around and could end up loosing power too, thats why it something best left to do on a dyno.

but in the end, moving the cam timing to move the dizzy timing still comes up with a net result of "****ing pointless" cuz the obd2 ecu loves us so very much.
