Hi Volks,

Basic timing question here...  What kind of performance issues (or any
other issues) might I be seeing in my vanagon if my timing was way off?  I
have an 87 (2.1l) and according to Bently the timing should be set at 5
(+or - 1) BTDC.  This weekend I noticed the timing was set at 5 (+ or  -1)
ATDC.

Per an archived message from the list, I fired it up and disconnected the
Idle Stablizer Control Valve, reved her up around 2000-2500 RPM, and
reconnected the ISCV.   Notch was now set about 1 - 2 degrees BTDC.

I havent had a chance to drive the van since resetting the timing because
I was testing a bunch of other Fuel Injection/Computer stuff, but just
thought you experts could enlighten me on the timing part of things.

Thanks,

Jeff
