Looking for reassurance

[Dr Silvia]

Last week i set my ingnition timing to 17.5 deg. btdc and all seemed well,
but I noticed that on acceleration it appears to advance itself wildly, having not read anythiong about this in the s12 bible im feeling paranoid...

Is this normal or is something wrong?

What do you mean its advancing itself? Do you mean whilst actually giving the car a blast, or just increasing the revs.

Its normal for the timing to advance with revs to about a max of 35 degs

[Dr Silvia]

Thank you martin I meant while revving it at stand still

Ive heard of that before but never knew s12's did it too

Cheers again

if i remember correctly from one of martins other posts on forums, the Throttle pos switch advances the timming to 35 deg, so on tickover you have 17deg the slight touch of the throttle it goes to 35deg.

correct me if im wrong

im also still looking for an s12 "bible" on CD if anyone that has one wants to copy it for me ta

i just got one for my stepdads terrano, its fooking brill!!!!!
