I'm Awesome
I didn't disconnect the knock sensor. I did, however, unplug the advance bypass wire and bumped the timing just a hair at a time. I went from 8° to 12° and as far as 16° BTDC. It seemed happiest at 12°, but still not perfect. Then, I plugged the bypass wire back in and the ECU took the timing all the way to 23° @ idle. I don't understand that. Why can't I spin the distributor that far and get the same effect?
I still cannot do a burnout. Revving that high with the clutch in and then dumping the clutch will do nothing more than make the engine buck and sputter.
Pushing 1st gear into higher RPMS will make the engine act as if the fuel is cutting out, then I get a backfire.
After 1st gear, I can rev the engine as high as I want (in gear) and it'll run "ok~ish", but I'm still not feeling the power that I think I should have.
So, bumping the timing helped a bit, but it still needs a tune.
With that: I've been reading up on using TunerPro. It seems I need a definition file for my specific [vehicle] computer - in order to communicate with the ALDL and get some live data. Even then, I'm sure I'll have no clue what I'm looking at.
Isn't there a clear-cut tutorial out there on how to tune these 80's junk computers?
