it seems stupid that that you should need to adjust your timing to use a spark plug.

The SCT pro racer package should allow you to change that stuff, VW. No Idea what it runs though.

If your erection lasts more than four hours, call your doctor.

Ether you guys are Dumb or board. Cam crank correlation, Is timing. The computer can only adjust the timing so far. witch is set by where the distributor sets and the crank sensor. And correct me if i'm wrong dodge doesn't use a knock sensor as per chevy. At least i haven't come across any problem with knock sensor on a dodge to know if it has one or not.And yes, adjusting your timing for fuel,spark is part of "tuning" I believe. Hmm may be i'm just in the wrong forum...never mind I have to get back to doing head gaskets on a 90 chevy, then heads on a Azteck. It should be easy though sense theres no timing involved.lol

Timing is determined by the crank sensor. Fuel injector timing is controlled by the cam sensor. (pick up coil) Moving the distributor changes when the fuel injectors fire, not when the spark plug fires.

And no, dodge doesn't use a knock sensor. I really wish they had....

It "sparks way faster"? What does that mean?
