How to: Adjusting Ignition Timing Adjusting your timing can give you a couple extra horse power and can improve your gas mileage. A lot of times this will be counted as a "free" performance mod, because you are gaining a few extra horses while not having to do much more then fueling up with a higher octane gas. Now higher Octane gas is more expensive, but the extra MPG's that you are getting should make it up. These instructions are fairly similar to the ones by Naji Dahi, found here, which are similar to the FSM ones. What will be needed:

I think you will need to adjust your Idle sensor. I believe it's fairly easy, just unplug the TPS sensor and then turn the screw on the intake manifold left or right. Check this web page out, he shows how to adjust timing and idle speed |

It allows for the fuel to burn longer, thus less fuel ends getting burned in the CAT.
The problem is, when you advance your timing, the fuel maps change, so the gains will most likely stay the same. The way to actually gain better MPG's with the timing mod is by getting a tunable ECU, Calum RealTime or Basic, and adjusting the fuel maps, so that they wouldn't change with the timing. Now I haven't experienced with this first hand, but a knowledgeable friend of mine explained this process to me. If this is by any chance incorrect, please let me know and I'll update it. ![]() |
