Pinking (detonation) will occur. At the worst the detonation will eventually hole a piston.
What happens if you timing is to far advanced on a 1994 dodge spirit
Could be too much compression for the fuel being used, or maybe the timing is too far advanced.
The timing may not be set right. It sounds like it is too far advanced.
either the idle is set too high or your timing is advanced too far.
Ping is caused by the timing being too far advanced either becasue it is set to far advanced or the advance system is malfunctioning. Prior to 1996 you can adjust the timing manually but after '96 the computer does it all.
Advanced timing is when the spark plug fires AFTER Top Dead Center, retarded timing is when it fires BEFORE TDC.
Running hot or timing too far advanced
The timing may be too far advanced, check against manufacturer's recommendation.
Weak battery?Bad starter?Timing set too far advanced?
A backfire is caused by many different things. Using the wrong grade fuel will cause a backfire, as the engine's compression ratio is usually too high and will detonate the Air/Fuel mixture, causing a backfire. It can also be caused by advanced or retarded timing. Advanced timing will cause a backfire through the intake, as the spark occurs too early and ignites the Air/Fuel mixture before the intake valve is closed. Retarded timing causes a backfire through the exhaust as the spark occurs after the exhaust valve has opened. Your problem seems to be advanced timing. A backfire is caused by many different things.

most likely cause is the timing is advanced too much and isnt shutting off properly
Because the timing is advanced.
