10-12 degrees
map stands for manifold absolute pressure it records manifold pressure and adjusts fuel and timing acordingly. it should be located on the firewall. hope this helps.
The e36 M50 has a timing chain. The e30 has a belt. Black plastic intake manifold = Chain Metal intake manifold = Belt

Knock sensors detect detonation ( knocking ) by reacting to the ping by retarding the ignition timing so you will need a timing light for this. connect the timing light and locate the knock sensor, ( many are on the intake manifold ) now use a metal object to tap ( not too hard and not on the sensor itself ) on the intake manifold ( light tapping should suffice ), if the sensor is functioning you will see the timing retard. If the timing does not retard you will need to check voltage across the terminals of the knock sensor connector.
No absolutely not...
Advanced timing can cause that to happen
if you would stand in front of the engine (in front of the timing belt),it should be on the left side of the engine block under the exhaust manifold
It should not be doing that. There is something amiss. Probably the timing. Have a mechanic check it.
The manifold has no way of overheating, it's a piece of metal if its glowing red then the exhaust may be plugged up, or the engine timing is retarded, or you have an ignition misfire. Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle (parts store or dealer), and a local library should have professional shop manuals available in the REFERENCE section for free.
one mark is used for inductive timing with a special timing tool and the other is for a conventional timing light
