The ecu sets the timing on cossie management, are you using a phase sensor on the cam pulley or a modded dizzy? If a phase sensor set up on the cam pulley just have the dizzy in the centre of the adjustment.

Im using the phase sensor yea if i move the dizzy it does nothing to the ignition timing but the pick up on the crank pully was moved before i got the engine and i moved it about and that does move the ignition timing but not much. I can get it almost half way between the 0° on the plastic timing matks and the crank sensor so its far advanced can anyone help me out abit cheers
