In my experience, the puter should have kicked the timing up some as soon as the SPOUT went back in (the 94 GT was the last stang I timed, and it kicked in 10* just from installing the SPOUT).

You might have a cut wire in the SPOUT connector harness.

Good luck.

If you suspect the connector, you could put a jumper wire in the harness instead (even a paperclip would work). I sorta doubt the issue is the connector itself, unless it looks like poop.
How does the wires look?

Good luck.
