Im having trouble setting the timing in my truck. I fired up the truck and let it warm up, then shut it down and disconnected the tan/black wire under the dash on the passengers side, then I fired it back up. When I set the timing to 0 degrees the motor stalls and won't restart untill I advance it.
When I finally managed to keep it running long enough to set the timing to 0, I shut it down, reconnected the tan wire, and fired it back up. I checked the timing just to see if it agreed with the setting on my RPM multichip which should have been 14 degrees advance, but according to two timing lights (they both bounce around a bit) it is running at 23-27 degrees advance.
Did I miss a step or do something wrong? Is this normal? This is a brand new complete RPM motor, tune, turbo kit, and exhaust. The build details are in my sig.
