Timeing/Computer problem I think...
I have a 89 2.9 The problem is that I have to realy slip the clutch when I start off,the truck will die if I dont.When It does die and I try to restart it ,it turns over like the timming is way to the advance side.
I have run a code test and only get a 67 code.That is because I did not hook up the safty switch on the clutch pedal when I did the tranny swap.I swaped the computer from the tranny doner BII{some year and engine}.
On the timming test {KOER} the timming will not go back to normal.The trucks runs fine and I have no spark knock also the gas malage is about 20mpg.
Is this a computer or a distribater problem?

PS The bais timing is set to specks with the sprut{spelling} out.

I don't have all the manuals with me, so I'm not sure what circuit test to run. Hopefully Ken will have it. Out of curiosity, what does the KOER timing advance test yield? Erratic timing? or is it something other than 30 +/- 3 BTDC?

You really should run the KOER timing if your getting a KOEO code. Doing a normal timing test.... Is the base timing set to 10-12' without the spout? Does it go back to 20-30' when the spout is reconnected?

Baise timing is 10*with out the spout,20* with thw spout.when I run the koer timing test advanse to 20* and stays there till I turn the truck off,its as if the timming is staying advance.

Nothing in the distributor for advance, it's all computer controled. Maybe the computor just flaked out on you the first time you ran it.
