Ok so when i try to start my car either cold or warm it won't start on the first time(unless i crank itfor a while) one usually sometimes when it is warm it will then on the second one it will start up fine and lately it is have a an idle problem when it is cold it will drop to very low RPMs then go back up

RE: ignition problem
my car is a 5speed andalso drops the rpm's when it's cold or when im at a stop sign, however i have a cuzin thatused to work at aFord dealer ship and he said that it could be that the time is retarded....and mine is since it's at 9degrees and i think for them to run better should be somewhere betweem 11& 13 ....although that what they told me so dont bealive me i am no expert on this field.....lol

RE: ignition problem
no, nothing with timing never touch that when there is a problem,replace the IAC and call it fixed, it wears mechanicly and gunks up.
the aftermarket is aware of this and redesigned a better version, Ford did not, I work there. Go to autozone
timing is only to be adjusted when your not having problems, and want better performance with 93 octane fuel
