What is the difference between advanced and retarded timing?
Advanced timing is when the spark plug fires AFTER Top Dead Center, retarded timing is when it fires BEFORE TDC.
What are the benefits of running advanced timing or retarded timing?
You will get pinging if you advance it and you will loose gas mileage and power if you slow it.
Why does your early vw engine stall?

What is over retarded bank 2?

What does vtec stand for?
Variable Timing Electronic Control. Meaning the timing is advanced/retarded electronically by the computer when needed ie. you stomp on the gas pedal and the timing changes to compensate.
How does incorrectly set timing affect fuel consumption?
A stretched timing chain on a DOHC engine will cause a retarded intake camshaft timing and a slightly retarded or normal exhaust camshaft timing. The intake cam will take most of the stretch, leaving the exhaust cam mostly normal. The results of a retarded intake camshaft will be improved fuel economy due to less air-fuel drawn in during the intake stroke. Also, IF the exhaust camshaft is retarded from excessive timing chain stretch the result will be a lower NOX emissions due to exhaust gas being drawn in during the intake stroke, lowering the overall combustion chamber temperature.
What is wrong with the timing on my car?
May be possible the timing is too far retarded. If this is the case, there will not be complete combustion and you will get smoke. Try to advance it a couple of degrees.
71 vw bug doesn't turn off correctly it jumps and cuts out?
Timing way retarded.
Ford galaxy lacks power?
Perform a tune up and check timing, it may be retarded too far.
Would advanced or retarded timing cause intake backfire?
yes, backfiring is always due to ignition or timing problems. Backfiring through the carb can be a symptom of a lean condition.
Can you use regular gas instead of premium in a Mercedes E350?
You can but your ignition timing and cam timing, if you have adjustable cams will be retarded to stop detonation. Fuel economy and performance will drop.
86 Chevy truck backfiring through the carb?
Either the timing is excessively retarded or you have a worn camshaft or related problem.
