ok just refuelled (my local shells been milked dry and ended up going to the nearest motorway service shell)
i've been running an idle of 850rpm for awhile, prob to reduce vibrations at 750rpm and prevent stalling under PAS load, which makes the timing at 850rpm become 5-7deg.
so i reduced idle down to stock 750rpm the consult timing goes up to 15deg.
i force 15deg via datascan, the strobe reads 2deg, the dizzy is 13deg offset retarded.
turn off active test and consult reading stays at 15deg, again pulley reading 2deg.
so there u go baguete, my dizzy is bout 13-14deg too much retarded
