Ignition Timing

Ignition Timing:





Optimum ignition timing is calculated in the control module on the basis of the following information:



^ engine load (Tq)


^ engine speed

The throttle position (at idle) also provides the basic ignition timing and, where appropriate, a knocking tendency in any of the cylinders will naturally also influence the control module's calculation of optimum ignition timing.
