Hey guys,
So heres my dilemma.
Got a 87 Hardbody 4x4 pickup a while ago. Gave it a full tune up, (Plugs, fuel filter, wires, cap, rotor, air filter) and when doing all this I noticed the distributor bolts were loose and the thing wwas just moving around by itself. So I guessed the timing would not be correct so I got out my timing light and tried to time it. I have the distributor fully retarded and it's still about 22 degress BTDC, I was reading it should be about 10-15 degrees BTDC but it won't go any lower. The timing is controlled by the ECU on this thing so I really don't know what to do to get it any lower.
Also, reading about this motor too is that the distributor only goes in one way if you take it out so Im guessing if for some reason it was out (Previous owner said it wasn't) it couldn't go in wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks
