HELP IF CAN.I will try to make this as short as possable.

Problem began 2 months ago,and cant find no answers conncerning this but seen someone else had same problem with no answer.

The problem is if i try to advance my timing with spout out ok,but when i plug the spout back in the engine bucks and goes totally south in performence and feels like it wants to shake the crank out of it.

Relplaced the TFI, module,PIP,PCM,EEC,Alternator,wires,plugs,cap,rotor,lifters,injectors,MAF,checked for broken wires as much as possable and did not see any,ran commpresion check,ok.

Car would start slow after comming up to operating temps even with spout out so i ended up turning the timing way down to where it almost stalls on the initial timing and put the spout back in,now it runs but the perfomence sucks and the advanced timing thing is still there.

This seems to be a problem with the timing VS. the spout signal to let the computer do its thing,thats when it gets crazy.

Any ideas.

Well

I'm not saying you are not having a prob of some kind but ................

The spark moving around with the spout in is a normal kinda thing, at least it is on my Stang, lol.

Spout connector was checked and is fine,it seems the problem is occuring before the sout connector,from what i understand the thin wire in the connector just completes the circut to the eec and back.

Spark moving around is normal after the spout in and the eec sets the timing at where it needs to be but it is not occuring that way, the problem is the car timing seems to be not firing correctly after the spout is in and the car runs very bad.
