class project on tuning, need some help please
when you advance the timing in the computer waht really happens? what does it do?
they have some good basic tutorials with nice drawings.
Increasing the timing on the ecm makes the coilpacks fire earlier, before top dead center, increasing cylinder pressure, ideally when tuned right up to the peak power without causing detonation.
Thats a pretty crude description sorry. Read howstuffworks and you'll totally understand the basics of the engine, timing, spark, strokes, etc.
