the car pinged like crazy when I got it. I backed down the timing and it went away. I did the water pump and with everything out of the way I was able to see/clean the timing marks on the pulley. I checked what the timing was actually set to. It was at zero degrees with the Spout disconnected. So I put it at 10 degrees. I ran it, and any throttle is ping ping ping. I removed the spout connector and left it at 10 degrees. It runs just like it did when I had it at zero initial and the spout hooked up.
Two questions- Anyway to test that the computer is actually changing the spout signal? Maybe it's always giving full advance or something.
How do I check for a chip? I know they change the timing curve and require premium gas. I just filled up with premimum and reinstalled the spout jumper, so we'll see if it pings with that. But where do the chips install on these cars. I've located the computer- passenger side kick panel. Do i need to open it up?
