Ignition timing procedure

[Roops]

My 'Y' plate 1.0 feels as though it is running retarded, or maybe a bit lean. But since the Lambda sensor seems to be working normally and it goes closed loop soon after starting, I'm looking at the timing first.

My questions are what do I do to alter it, (assuming I can find my timing light!) and will any changes show in the degrees advance figure I get via OBD2, or will they be hidden because the changes are invisible to the ECU?

MTIA for clues, as the Haynes BOL I bought on Ebay has not arrived yet.

Is yours the distributor model or coilpack model?

4 coils on top of the pliugs. Sorry, firgot to mention that!

Not sure adjusting the ignition timing is even possible without some form of butt stuffing.

Timing is controlled by the ecu and will need a mapper of some description to look it up

Look into your fuelling as its something you can do without seeking a huge bill


Edited (was thinking k12 at first)

can the crank position sensor be moved?

can the crank position sensor be moved?

mounted on the g/box on coilpack k11,s eh, so would,nt be easy (and would flag a mil if the cam sensor was,nt re-synced i guess)
the flywheel dowel could be offset too
