ESC or distributor problem?
I am having trouble getting my car to carry as much timing at idle as it is programmed to. I get very little differance when I unhook the ESC wire on the timing (less than 5 degrees) and it idles best at 28-30 degrees at idle and is programmed to do so. It shows 28-30 degrees on the datamaster scan logs but it isn't seeing it with the timing light. Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. Base timing is set at 6* BTDC

If that has been done and the advance still doesn't come back then it is possible the ignition module is bad. If it is a wiring problem most of the time the SES light will stay on.
