Update on a problem from a while back...

As some of you may remember I had a very bad dead spot on off idle acceleration ( https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/...ML/000050.html It was the simplest damn thing too.
I was messing around with the timing the other day, bumping it up just a bit and low and behold my car runs awesome now with a nice crisp throttle response. Drives like a completely different car I tried bumping up the timing in the past but it didn't work for some reason :/ I do have a new ECM and performance chip in place as off 3 weeks ago so maybe something changed with that. Thanks for all the help in the original thread, I've learned quite a bit from reading this forum.

And the lesson of the day here is (besides your bad ecm)...don't forget to check the little things.

I did, and at the time, it didn't change anything strange
