| I recently reinstalled my engine after many mods, in particular I replace the timing belt (only the belt, so I didn't touch the CAS) and installed a UR pulley. Well, when I started the engine, it ran smooth, even at idle when the engine was hot. Then I checked the timing (I used the loop on the PTU) and read 30 degrees ! The CAS was approximatively in the middle position, and I had always driven my car before with the the CAS at the same position w/o any problem, so it was very strange. I tried to adjust the timing, but even with the CAS totally on the right, I could only get 20 degrees. FYI, I don't have the stock EPROM but a Zemulator (I had it before and didn't modify the parameters since) and I run the "stock 93" parameters. 30 degrees is 15 + 15 degrees, as if my timing advance had doubled... Where could that come from ?
- I know you have to take care when reading the timing with an underdrive pulley. But 15 degrees is not a parallax error.
- I could have installed the timing belt unproperly, but I triple checked it, and 15 degrees would be a lot of teeth and I would have serious issues with the DS's exhaust valves. So what ? I didn't have my laptop today, so I didn't check the timing maps, but tomorrow I'll run the Zemulator and Conzult to check the maps. Thanks for any idea.
