Hi all,
Can someone please tell me if I am standing in front of the engine bay of my TX5 and I spin the top of the distributor away from myself is that advancing my ignition timing. This is what I did and I ended up loosing power even though im running 98 ron fuel. There is no pinging either so all I am left to belive is I have spun the distributor the wrong way. Thanks. |

Thanks mate, I just got a timing light and put it back to standard. Too much mucking around for such little gain.
