you don't computer controlled engines have idle speed set by the computer
Idle speed control
Even so eclipse uses distributor based ignition system, I'm not sure that you can adjust timing. The timing you can adjust is idle timing. But it basically never needs to be adjusted.
On a 1995 Nissan Pickup, 2.4 liter engine, the crack angle sensor is located on the distributor under the distributor cap. It is regarded as the right hand to the ECCS control unit, as it is the basic signal sensor for the entire ECCS system. It monitors the engine speed, piston position and it sends signals to the ECCS control unit for control of the fuel injection, ignition timing, idle speed, fuel pump operation and the EGR functions.
Due to the electronic fuel injection system in the 1997 Dodge Neon it is not possible to lower the idle speed. The engine control system computer adjusts the speed automatically.
idle speed too low? loosen bolt at bottom of distributor cap and turn the dist. cap slightly while the engine is running to change idle speed. then tighten bolt when you find a good speed.
1. Engine Idle speed set too low? 2. One or more cylinders misfiring at low idle? (Spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap or distributor rotor would be the common culprits.)
Contact breaker point gap 0.45-0.55 mm Distributor dwell angle .49-55 deg Ignition timing at idle speed 7 deg btdc in neutral That's the same for A14 & A15
your ignition coils and distributor...they should be blocks...u can get a three pack of blocks at your local auto parts stire
# Idle speed incorrect # Fuel filter clogged and/or water and impurities in fuel system # Damaged or wet distributor cap and wires # Emissions system components faulty # Faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs my 2002 mountaineer did the same thing and it was a crack vaccum line.
I had my "distributor pick-up" replaced. car would just die out, while i was driving.
You may want to check for sticking throttle linkage/cable and also your ignition timing may be advanced
cam timing will not change ignition timing i would try 8 or 10 degees advance at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected.
