Help problems with timing ang idling!!!

[niky]

Echo nickriingen... proper timing advance for the Sentra is around 10 degrees BTDC.

But change your wires and have your distributor checked... 228k kms is a looooong way to go on just the stock wires... especially in our tropical heat!

* kurby - baka nasira nung taga nissan yung MAF sensor mo, di kasi dapat ginagalaw yun.

possible din na nagalaw na yung crank pulley mo kaya di na sakto yung timing marks. dapat pag naka sentro yung distributor e nasa 10 degrees siya.

Nagpalit kasi ng front oil seal... Possible na maiba yung timing marks dun?

Nakasentro naman yun distributor pero yung timing base sa timing light ay wala sa 10 deg. BTDC nasa below -5 deg BTDC, wala nga sa timing marks... pero ok hatak naman sya so far..

Hehe! Yeah it quite served us from generation to generation. Haha!

Anyways is NGK better than Bosch or any other brands? I'm trying to scout NGK HT wires around our area but I haven't seen 1 yet.

Much better, dalhin mo na lang sa service shop car mo. For your info, ignition timing of GA 16 DNE engine is 10 degrees BTDC, not 5 degrees. Use a suitable timing light in setting timing, RPM reading, not the usual tantiameter. Just don't let backyard mechanics tinker the sensors without the proper knowhow, equipment and service manuals. Better call this shop, Lito Motors, 892-3458. They could help you in your car's problem. Mukhang marami nang ginalaw. di pa rin tumino.

Sa totoo lang dinala ko sya sa shop malapit sa amin at ginamitan sya ng timing light kaya dun ako nagtaka kung bakit wala sya sa timng tapos nung sinagad sa advance yung distributor ang timing nya ay sa 3rd line (-5 deg. BTDC) kaya nag taka din ako...

Hindi nga kaya sa HT wires ang mga ito? Maitry nga mag palit... Mga magkakano kaya ito?

Tanong ko na rin mga ginoo kung ang 0 deg BTDC = TDC?

Thanks!

More power to tsikot.com and to its members!!!

got this same problem. timing and hatak was fine before i had the head gasket replaced. idling is just fine but im having problem with the lack of power. till now, the car, lec 97, is still in the shop. i told the mechanic to observe how it does. martes ko pa iniwan sa kanya, kukunin ko sa friday. sana, may hatak na. we suspect its the timing when the other mechanic replaced the head gasket..

paps na experience ko sa kotse ko kapag wala sa timing mahina ang hatak at ang bagal mag accelerate, di pwede ang tantyatimimng dapat gumagamit talaga ng timing light.

query lang brod. what about the lec 97. engine is ga13. ano ba ang tamang ignition timing, 10 BTDC rin ba?
