Well Today, I got the pioneer balancer put on. So I clean the air filtr re-oil it, put new engine oil, re-set the timing. Took it out for a spin and it ran like ****. It sputters while trying to get speed normal driving, has no balls. It does idle better for some reason. I know its a 10 degrees I checked like 4 times!!! What the hell did I do????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ok I forgot to mention that when I was setting the timing. I had to lift the dizzy and when it touched the block it sparked. After that I disconnected the battery and put it back in.....But i dont think nothing got burnt but who knows

Guero, put a timing light on and ensure the timing advances when you put the SPOUT back in. The spark thing worries me - you could have fried the TFI, which makes you run at base timing.

Also, the twEECer guys can tell you, but do TwEECer files ever get corrupted? I figured they dont, but thought it was worth asking.

Good luck bud.

And thanks for the compliment on the fox vert. I didnt want to reply yet again on Nik's thread (and hog it even more).

About the Tweecer. If they did get some how corrupted, I re downloaded the same tunes back one. Ill check timing with the SPOUT on and see weres its at.
Yeah that fox picture you posted was very clean. I personally dont really like them but that one I really liked

I always get confused......The TFI is inside the Dizzy right??? Whats the thing called next to the Cold air intake next to the SPOUT??? Is that the PIP or is the PIP the same as TFI???

Our TFI is mounted below the cold air intake, but im pretty sure its connected to the dizzy directly. The PIP or pickup i believe its called is in the dizzy. I've never messed with it though. I'd check the timing like u're planning to do and if it checks out your problem must be elsewhere

Ok I checked timing with and without the SPOUT. Without the SPOUT it was at 10. With the SPOUT on I could not tell were it was at, it kept changing

With the spout in ... its supposed to look like that

I know this may sound hokey but

You do know there are two 10 degree marks on most hb's ... right

I mean ... anybody could over look a simple thing like that

Nope, it should be 10 BTDC. Paint a white line on the 10* BTDC mark and re time your car, that should straighten it out.
