Am I going Crazy ? Ignition Timing
Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 4:21 pm
Well,
Lets start by saying that I haven't started the car for about a few weeks. Last time that i started the car with datalogging on I had Display running and in the display read 16 degrees timing at idle. Thats what it should be according to the value I have input in the Cells for low cam timing(idle). Today I started the car and made some changes to my launch control which was fine.. clicked on the display tab and it was reading 19-20 degrees ???? From what I understand the ignition in the display should be reading what is in the cell(s) when datalogging is on .. Am I correct or is it reading what the distributor is set at? I know the display is reading 158 degrees for ECT.. but even while the motor was at normal operating temp. the timing still read 19-20 degrees..
Also one other quick question is that the value that you input for retard ignition timing for Launch Control do you include a hyphen (-) or can you just input the number I.E. -4 degrees or 4 degrees ?
Please advise.. I have attached a word document with screen prints.
Thanks for your help
