Your exactly right and thanks for the reply my friend done it and said it didn't do much and it didn't I drove it daily . I pulled one of my plugs before I done this with temp sensor and they are as white as paper from lack of fuel could be a number of reasons so that's why Im getting such an improvement when you turn the dial (temp) down on the fly I think I have a fuel delivery prob

 

I'm on a phone can you tell me step by step how to upload sry

 

1. Sign up for a Youtube account.
2. Upload video to Youtube.
3. Post the Youtube video link/URL into Yotatech thread.

OR

1. Sign up for a Photobucket account.
2. Upload video to your Photobucket account.
3. Post the video link/URL into Yotatech thread.

You CANNOT post an attachment as large as a video. Too many MBs.

 

My stupid phone won't let me share to this site but it ( timing advance from ect mod) it shows the scan tool as the pic

 

Sounds like it's time to buy a computer.

Cute kid BTW.

Can't believe I just said that. I hate kids.

 

Ha ha I didn't mean to put my sons pic on there but did u get to see how it was acting ?

 

I can get my hands on a computer I guess I can try do u know about how much ign adv is too much to run every day and thanks for the help

 

Is that normal for it to advance that much 14 to 30 and 30 to 40 at a 5th gear cruise ??? And is it safe ???

 

Other than the pic of your son, there are no pics in this thread. So no, I don't get to see anything else.

Is it normal? I haven't a clue. Probably not, if that's not what it normally does(without the ECT mod applied). But it doesn't necessarily sound abnormal. I'm just not all that familiar with whatever it is you're trying to do. So maybe that's exactly what it should be doing. I just don't know for sure whether it is or isn't.

Is it safe? Sure, why not? I don't see how it wouldn't be. It really depends on what rpm you're talking about though. But that's around what max advance should be. Which is programmed into the ECU as a safety limitation. You shouldn't be able to make the ECU advance the ignition timing more than max advance(at any rpm). I'm pretty sure that's impossible. Without reprogramming it of course. Meaning, you should be fairly safe doing whatever it is you're doing to it. It's not going to let you exceed the safe limits as far as maximum ignition timing advance. But if something you're doing is causing it to knock/detonate/ping uncontrollably(at whatever rpm, and/or potentiometer setting). You might want to avoid doing that as much as possible.

 

I I didn't know if it had like a safety limit but I do now and I couldn't share it to the sight you have to go on YouTube and type in( ign adv from act mod ) if u even wanna look but thanks you for the info! All I have done and doing is putting resistor on the iat and a potentiometer in a series between the temp sensor and the computer

 

Zero out your ECT mod (i.e. stock sensor readings) and find out. Shouldn't be too hard. Better yet, log your data and compare ECT mod vs. stock.

Double post

 

It goes from around +15° at wot 4000 rpm to +32° at wot 4000 rpm when I set the potentiometer to about 10 ° temperature so it is enough to feel (ass to seat) difference . You know how it is when you drive your truck everyday and you know when there is a change. This morning. When I pulled out it actually pull both front tires off the ground when I mashed it In 2nd Lmao but thanks for the posts

 

What'd you have for breakfast? A bowl of magic mushrooms drenched in LSD? Because that did not really happen.

 

Ha ha jus been goofy cause its a factory truck and won't fall out of a tree compared to my buddys lol but I'm saving some dough in a few weeks one or the other will be putting some pressure on them intake valves lol it may not have but 215 HP but I love my truck

 

And was you referring to the timing or the wheelie ????

 

Probably the wheelie.

Timing is about right.

You ever upload that video yet?

My phone will not in any way let me copy the URL to the thread you will have to just type "timing advance from ect mod " on YouTube to watch . I have tried for two days to fig it out

 

Found it.


No offense, but that video didn't tell me anything. Couldn't see the screen, I couldn't hear the engine well enough to notice anything...

I think a better test is to get on the interstate, on a long flat stretch, and set the cruise to maintain a constant speed. Then start changing the readings with your ECT mod. See if your timing advances or not.

I'm still convinced this mod does nothing more than raise your idle speed. It does not advance timing or add more fuel vs being stock.

I know its rough lol but its hard to do everything while trying to keep it still . I know it advances while cruizing and at wot I'll do another video and I'll have a friend rec it I really want you to see what is happening . You may think I'm full of it but I'll make sure on the next video you can see but sry it was a rough vid lol and I'll only leave the back window open so u can hear better
