Ok I got one for all u 1G-GTE people and timing experts..
Today I decided to re-do my timing...
The timing that was dialled it when I checked it was at 20 Degrees advance and car went really well, not lagging and very responsive but the initial idle was high about 1000rpm in Drive. I decided to do the timing to manufactures specs so I set it at 10 Degrees bridging the Te1 and E1 pins in the diagnostic plug. After I did this the idle was great (650rpm) but when I drove the car it was extremely lagy from the start, slow to accelerate, and when it changing gears (automatic) it dropped the revs by 1000rpm with every shift. Very unnatural and sluggish shifts. Also the boost went up slightly (10.5 psi instead of 9.5 psi), meaning the turbos were working harder to give me less (my opinion). You could feel that the car didn’t like those timing settings.
I did the timing with a Timing light and listening to hear where the engine sounded like it was receiving the timing well to set it back around 20 degrees.
When I returned the timing to 20 degrees advance in normal mode (Not bridging the Te1& E1) it went well again but revs are too high on idle and I know that this is too much advance for the engine.
The engine is still standard apart from exhaust and pod filter.
My only opinion is that the distributor has not been placed properly (was removed once a long time ago) and was set one turn off.
Could it be anything else causing this? Has anyone had these problems. I mean the car runs well when it’s advanced but the idle is a pig and well 20 degrees timing seems much too much to me. Boost is standard as well. (9 psi)
I want to sort this out cause its getting boosted soon and I am afraid this much advance will kill the engine on higher boost. I want everything in perfect running order before I go straining the engine and making more power out of it.
