I've spaced the heads out on my v6 to lower the C/R for some boost which has caused a major timing issue which the standard ECU is not coping with particularly well, it looks very much like it's firing the injectors too soon or mechanically retarded depending on which way you look at it, would it make the most sense to knock the timing forward so it's mechanically closer to what the crank position sensor is seeing or just leave it and sort it all out electrically when the management goes on?

 

The standard ecu on that engine takes its timing input from the crank sender which hasnt changed.

sounds more likely you are getting a sync error between the cam and crank sensors, just use a vernier pulley to get the sync back to where it should be, or move onto your autronic which allows you to change it anyway.

 

Have you seen the price on a vernier... We'll (you lol) can sort it out on the Autronic

Just to keep you posted I'll be taking some time off work in the coming month to get a load of shit done on the car, I'll wire in the Autronic as much as I can and give you a shout on a few things if it's ok then we can sort the mapping out

If it helps my mate has an N/A 3.0 v6 with cams running Omex, I could possibly get a copy of the map to make it easier to set the timing up, cold start, idle and shit

 

Ok mate, sounds good.

 

which v6 ford are talking of here as you had to put the eec4 into service set mode after engine work to rest the ignition timing

 

Its a vauxhall v6 but in a KA

 

I wonder why people never state the make when they ask questions

 

Yes it would have been useful
