have engine warm, remove spout connector and set timing with a light. have battery disconnected during this as well. then once you get it set should be at 10*-12* btdc reconnect every thing and go for a drive.

well, what i meant by that is it should be done after the timing is set that way the computer can relearn. i got a bit twisted there , my bad. so set the timing then disconnect the battery for 5mins then reconnect and drive it for 30mins in various conditions like stop and go traffic, some WOT that sort of thing.

thanks for catchen that
