question (timing & air fuel mixture)
Situation:
85 1/2 ton pickup w/ 180k mi failed timing area of the CA smog test but passed emissions. Truck is set to 5 degrees retarded but should be 5 degrees advanced. Truck has 30% alcohol 70% cheap gas mixture currently in gas tank to help pass emission test. Timing must be set correctly and test must be redone tomorrow
Question
1 Could the alcohol in the fuel have messed up the timing or is it just off? I suspected it has been running rich but never checked.
2 When the timing is corrected could this cause the truck to stall due to the alcohol in the fuel?
3 If the timing is adjusted with 30% alcohol in the fuel will it be valid or need to be redone with pure gasoline?
Other threads I have created on this subject are
alcohol as fuel?
Please help me pass CA smog
