Title: Timing issues...
Post by: cuprak1 on June 30, 2010, 03:11:54 pm

when the car is on idle, timing was correct...

when I rev it, it tries to correct the timing advance to come back to zero, and it was not doing so.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Should i just change the revo settings using the SPS+ and see if that helps?

timing will try and return to zero on lifting the throttle, its normal.
