<DIV><FONT size=2>I am not kidding. It bucks and sputters all over the place,
but that is what is really happening. You can tell the fuel is totally being
ignited at the wrong time. I thought my timing light could be way outta wack. I
used another with the same results. She purrs like a kitten when the timing
connector is disconnected and it is at 6 deg, besides the fact that you can't
rev it because the computer isn't adding the spark. Just in case the balancer
was slipping, I marked the pulley. It is honestly retarding the spark at least
20 degrees from the 6.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Does this make sense? The only way I have been able to figure
out spark advance on the 85 (since it doesn't show it in scan tools) besides
using a timing light is to use a scope on the pickup coil input and EST output
at the computer harness. By tracking both of these waves at the same time, I was
able to see the EST get tighter and tighter compared to the pickup coil pulse
remaining constant. Only problem is, I need to try to figure out if the EST
pulse is actually being retarded from the computer or if it is being retarded at
the ESC module. Thanks for the interest Lyndon, -Matt-</FONT></DIV>
