I wanted to pass this along since it would have saved me a load of time...
I had my car die on the road and had it towed to a shop who installed a new distributor and set the timing.
Since then it cranked really hard and slow (unless the coil wire removed: then it cranked fast), it ran rough, stumbled, stalled, ran hot on the highway, and lost 70 miles to the tank in milage.
After exhaustive research and trying all of JR Ricters stalling checklist I was at my wits end.
Computer code 11 (normal condition)
no vacuume leaks
TPS fine
IBC fine
new tune up/ oil and filters.
I then checked the timing...
It was way, way advanced. (But I never heard any pinging) I think he never took the spout out or had the inductor on the wrong spark plug wire. He was idiot in any case.
Set timing to factory and it now runs better than it ever has. Christ!
