VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  why is my ignition timing At ~40 BTDC?!?! 850 1996 posted by  someone claiming to be toze on  Sat Nov 29 14:29 CST 2008 [RELATED] Have been trying to diagnose a rough running problem on this 96 855 n/a AT. Symptoms. From cold very hard to start, starts ok once it has run for a few seconds. Idles fine very very low on power wont rev past 3.5krpm NO check engine lights are on new cap new rotor new wires new plugs new amm new camshaft position sensor So i removed the timing belt cover off and pulled out the trusty timing light. Yep and there it was..my idle timing is at close to 40 degrees BTDC..its firing CLOSE to where the lill cut off triangles are where you line up the camshafts to remove the timing belt.. do i just have a bad ECU? my other volvo is a 95 Turbo..not sure this ecu will give better results.
