Thanks Joe, I will not touch the timing! I read through the "Fuel, Emission and Exhaust system" section in the workshop manual and I think I have a grasp now on how the whole shpeel works. I'll check all sensors/vacuum valves and make sure they are opening and closing at the right temps. I'll let you know what I come up with and if I manage to start a fire. :) Jon --- DMC Joe <dmcjoe@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Do not adjust the timing!
