Timing effecting idle

[20valver 0]

I've been adjusting my timing and when I advance it its raised the idle.

 

I got to the point where it pinked, then backed off a bit, but the idle was still high.

 

Do i need to adjust my idle, or back off on timing till idle is back at 800?

set the timing to just before pinking....then ajust the idle

recently i have been adjusting my G60 timing too! The engine runs different when you are turning the distribuitor counter clockwise (more power). But i never had problems with idle, always stable at 780 RPM (showed in MFA secret mode). You should inspect it carefully, as getting a raised idle... :?

Any one else got any ideas on this? :roll:

 

As well as the idle raising, it takes longer to return to a steady level...
