Subject:      setting the timing on your 2.1l - what value to use
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


Okay, Bentley wants the timing set to 35(+-5) at 3000 RPM - this on an
engine that's warmed up (80C) with all the sensors hooked up, checked
against same with the temp sensor disconnected and 2000-2500 RPM.


So, I hook up the light, dial 30 degrees in, and shoot the mark (which
is already 5 degrees) at 3000 rpm - simple.
The van seems to run "okay" but doesn't seem to be as "peppy" (if a
Camper can ever be so ..)  as compared
to static timing (or idle) on the mark - which is 5 degrees.


Just wondering what settings others have found to work well.


cheers,
- Frank
