Whilest tinkering with my car earlier today curing the non firing injector Pat decided to run a timing light across it to once and for all determin weather or not I was running the mythical 10 degrees of Static Advance. I am.

Now I say mythical, we have long suspected that my car's reluctance to take ignition was down to it actually running 10 degrees static, which seems to be a somewhat unpredictable phenomenon on MY98 UK cars.

Has anybody else found their car running 10 degrees, was this common practice on the MY98 model for any reason?

I haven't a clue, just throwing it out ther for discussion.

 

Tim,

No news on injectors will ask them tomorrow, they have 4 sets of mine building up there now.

Let me know what was going on.

Paul, one of them (not the one with the connector) seemed to be stuck shut.

Pat took it out and we then freed it off and ran some carb cleaner, WD then petrol through it whilest striking it on and off on the battery.

I think it was because I left them for so long after they were cleaned without running them and it got gummed up. Seems to be fine now, although I may get them all cleaned again.
