Ecm retarding timing? I have a 1991 camaro z28 tpi 5.7 fresh rebuild. Stock roller cam/lifters, New pistons (40 over), all new bearings and gaskets, AFPR 24 pound injectors,custom chip. It has a midrange noise like a lifter. Can a noisey lifter cause the knock sensor to freak out and retard the timing? I know the timing is adjusted right 6* BTDC with est unplugged. It pops out the ehaust like its low in time. Also fouls all 8 plugs. |

Re: Ecm retarding timing? Anybody? |
Re: Ecm retarding timing? Who flow tested the injectors ? You might want to send them back to have the checked for leaking. I just helped a member tune his car and the injectors he had sat around for 6 months or so from his previous engine build and where exhibiting the same thing. Changed to Bosch 3s and set the offsets then tune. Don’t forget to change your oil before you do bearing damage. how have you verified knock retard ? Scanner ? Timing light ? |

Re: Ecm retarding timing? Have you ever heard of putting the lifters in a c clamp and compressing them prior to installation, becuase I haven't and we have never done it before.. |
Re: Ecm retarding timing? I was going to say that I pulled the rail and primed the system and injectors didnt leak |
Re: Ecm retarding timing? Never heard of that. I have always soaked them in oil prior to install to bleed the air out of them so they pump up fast. Loud valve train noise can cause knock retard. But I doubt it’s that bad to cause it run so rich. Have you disconnect the ks? |
Re: Ecm retarding timing? Could that have damaged them? And cause the noise, because it does not sound like a spark knock at all |
Re: Ecm retarding timing? I don’t think it would damage the lifter. Only if the clips come out of the inner part of the lifter. |
Re: Ecm retarding timing? what injectors are you running? Bosch-III's? |
