Advanced timing will cause high Nox also. In Ca they check the timing, I figured yours was correct. |

If that be the case, then here is hoping that it was the cause of my high NOx reading. I changed the plugs (Bosch ), replaced the PCV since I found a new one in my Shed Of Anarchy.Set the timing to ~8 BTDC. Set the idle speed. Added some Sea Foam to the crankcase. I'll fill up tomorrow morning before church, run it all next week. Emissions on Friday. |

Yeah - Sticker sez 6 BTDC, but I'm a rebel. Seriously, it was way, way, way, way out of timing - off the scale - 25...30...35 BTDC. Crazy thing, I have been getting 43 mpg/avg since I bought it (3 fill ups) Edited by TimmyD, Aug 16 2014, 07:57 PM.

SuchiZuki passed emissions - last time it needs to do so!!! I might just reset the timing to 12 BTDC since setting it to 8 BTDC dropped the mpg's (first 2-3 tanks of gas, before setting the timing, were in the mid-40s mpg). ...now off to the PnP...just because.
