Adjusting Timing?

[Honda Power]

I adjusted my timing about two weeks ago and was woundering if I did it to much.
So I took pics of it to show how much I moved it.
Also I have not had any problems out of the change.
Just thought I would make sure Its not going to mess up in the long run.

Why did you adjust?

[93accordfreak]

That looks retarded. (Literally?)

Get a timing light, jump the check engine connector, pull the rubber plug on the transmission and set the timing to 15* before TDC. Your car will thank you and run better. The distributor will be adjusted pretty close to the center of its adjustment range.

why jump check the engine light is this necessary?

[AccordXRacer]

Yes the dizzy does look retarded. Set if back to where you originally marked it.

The ecu will constantly adjust the timing. When you short the check connector it locks the ecu timing.

Use a timing light to adjust the timing, No-one can tell you your timing going off the marks you put on the dizzy.

so let me get this straight, loosen the dizzy,

jump the connector, crank the engine and i guess the ecu will put it back to factory?...what do i wait five mins or something while the ecu does it thing or some?

Run the engine till the cooling fans turn on twice, and then jump the connector.
The ecu will be locked at IIRC 15* Then use a timing light to set the timing by adjusting the dizzy.

ok cool and cant you retard the timing by like 2 degrees and it will give you more power?

i meant advance the timing

[Sleeper00]

i dont think so, it makes the idle higher but that dont mean more hp
