Timing?

[ComancheDude11]

Is there anyway to adjust the timing with with the distributor? It seems like it is pinned and we can't adjust it.

That's correct. Timing is controlled by the ECU.

Why do you think you need to adjust the timing?

[ComancheDude11]

Even on a renix? And I just think it will run better if we tune it right.

[cruiser54]

Yep. Even on a Renix.

I agree it'll run better if tuned right. Do you think you can set the timing better than the computer?

 

You already discovered that the distributor cannot be adjusted. Why are you surprised to have it confirmed that the timing is not user adjustable?

Hard to beat a system that gives alot of advance and has a knock sensor to keep the engine from piniging for ya.

Correct.

 

Now ... if the problem is pinging, and it's a Renix vehicle, the problem could be a broken knock sensor.
