I know this is not the right forum for this but know one ever responds to the 2nd gen forum. I don't know why but it ******* suck. Well any ways on my brothers TII what would be the best way to set the timing. Would it be the regular 10 degree split? And what would be the maximum advance we are looking for and do we set it at 4000rpm's?

87-88, there is a 2 pin connector you need to jumper by the battery, its green. then set the leading timing to the yellow (1st mark), if its modded you may want to retard the timing a couple of degrees



89-91, is the same except the connector is 1 pin and you ground it.



the trailing timing and the split is controlled by the ecu, DONT ADVANCE THE TIMING ON A FACTORY ECU TURBO CAR, they already run a lot of timing

OK thanks so I just set it at the factory specs cool. I seem to have another problem withit the leading coil sparks on cranking but once it fires up it goes dead. Would it be a pickup in the distributor/crank angle sensor or is it the computor?

Oh yeah its an 87 with a 91 turbo and manifold running at 9psi with 750cc secondaries.

could be the plugs/ wires too

new plugs and wires were installed. While running I hooked up the pickup to each plug wire near the coils. Each trailing coil was fireing but the leading was not. So I tried the same thing while cranking the engine the leading would fire spiraticly until the ungune fired up then it would quit completely. I was thinking the crank angle sensor but then the trailing would not work either since there is only one pickup and the computer seperates the signals. Next thought is the computer? Or I possibly have a bad coil pack. We changed coil packs and still the same thing. Maby 2 bad coils maybe not. I'm gonna look up how to test them to try to figure this out.
