ADVANCE TIMING ON A 94 COBRA

[sn95cobra]

Does any1 know how to do this. The old fox bodies were easier. I think if i just move it the computer will reset it.

 

[two95s]

You can adjust it same as the fox cars. Computer doesn't know where the initial timing is set.

Yup set it with a timing light like usual, just unplug the spout connector before doing so.

just remove the little gray spout connector (by the air filter box taps into the same wiring hardness as the IAC sensor i believe). base timing is set as 10 but you usually bump it to 13-14...which ever works the best for you.

 

[sn95cobra]

So the spout is not on the distribitor?

 

[Paul]

No. It's on the passenger side inner fenderwell.

Oh, and most SN95s won't take as much timing as the foxbody cars without detonating like crazy.

cobra's will take anywhere from 13-16 whichever works best for you.

GT's are more sensative to timing advances. I've seen them detonate with 10

weird, i thought 10 was stock.

 

[Paul]

10 is stock. And I have my doubts about a Cobra "taking" 16 degrees of timing, not to mention whether that much timing would be advantageous or not.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Yeah 16 is too much imo, more timing does not always equal more power. I never had mine over 14 but that's just me.

 

[MuscleInc1320]

12 to 13 seems to be the best for me on 94 gt

 

[sn95cobra]

well im going to try it nxt. ill let u guys knw thnx

 

[sn95gtvert]

remember guys, it also depends on where you live ie:how far from sea level.
when i lived in souther idaho 4300 feet above sea level i was able to run 15 on 94 octain the car was loving it. (basicly stock)
now that i live back in the vally in oregon 500 feet above sea lvl i run 12-13 with the mods in my sig and on 92 octain.
