Before I raise anyone's blood pressure, let me explain that 2.1l WBX DJ-code (112hp) calls for timing to be set at 10 degrees BTDC. When I bought the engine it came with timing set at 0 degrees, or TDC. The idle is OK, the power is good. I set timing to factory spec 10 BTDC, and idle is lumpy, but I don't see any more power. Throttle response seems the same and my timed 30-50 and 50-70 are identical under nearly identical conditions (ok, it is a little cooler tonight). Theoretically, which is better, 0 or 10 BTDC? -- Chris S.
