Re: spark advance

Are you ure you're not 1 tooth off on the distributor and when you plug the wire in it moves the timing too much?

Re: spark advance

If you're hitting the timing mark with the tan wire disconnected then you're not a tooth off. Pull the ECM fuses which resets the ecm, reinsert and try again.
