Timing Question


Recommended Posts

I have an '88 GL WGN 1.8 SPFI with 180k on it and I just got it running again after my PCV valve went bad and was up-chucking oil, by the way, thanks for the help from everyone here. Now I've noticed the idle is a bit rough, it fluctuates. I checked the timing and saw that the advance was to the max. The manual says it should be -20b at sea level (add about 6 degrees for mountain driving, so I’ve been told), but the distributor is turned to the max and if I turn it back towards -20b it will run really rough. What do you guy’s think; worn or misaligned distributor, sensors, or the computer?
