I'm leaning toward the ignition control box on the fender but why would it default to 30 deg instead of 10 like the book says ??? I really need help I am pretty good with cars and have a good electrical background but this is a bit different then my 95 gt. oh I had the battery loose cleaning cables so i guess i erased any obd 2 codes because after I did that and changed the starter I checked the timing and found this problem I thought the timing gear on the crank had been moved but it only has 4 bolts and that would be a 90 degree turn not 20 that i"m now over my base of 10. thanks for any help                                                      Wayne in SC</blockquote>
