Good evening,
After some work has been put into the engine I was having issues getting the engine to turn over. I was able to pin point the issue and found the ICM (ignition control module) was bad. I got the part coming in this week and will be getting it installed. If and when I get the engine to turn over, I would like to check and confirm the timing of engine is correct. I been doing my homework on the timing for engine. If I'm correct, we should be running between 8-10 degrees BTDC. I just want to confirm that this is correct. Also, if the engine still doesn't turn over, what else would cause it not to turn over? When I first got the car and drove it, the engine would bog out or die out. What should I be looking for to cause this issue?
Thanks in advance!
