Ignition map question
Posted: Sun Feb 20, 2005 9:38 pm
Hi all,
I've been reading a lot today and setting up my ignition map when I came accross this on a UK web site. This is what someone said about an ignition map for the MJLJ:
"Once it's started a good trick to get a really good idle is to give some extra advance above and below your desired idle point -if you're idling at 1000rpm then run say 14 degrees at 500 rpm, 12 at 1000rpm and 14 at 1500rpm. What this does is give the engine a little boost if the idle drops below 1000rpm, compensating for any temperature changes."
Thoughts anyone?
