depending on how far you have to go you might run out of wire. However on my car i tried turning it as far as i had to to get it right and it just stalled, once i advanced the rotor a tooth it fired right up and i was able to set the timing without it stalling.

but you can turn the body where ever you want...problem solved.
EDIT- but yes, you can technically be off one tooth.

RE: HCI Finished - Car doesn't want to idle stalling out
I'm not sure what to do... The timing is dead on now and i'm at 16 degrees of timing now... The car isn't running too great and like I said before, I tried to do a U turn and the car stalled when I put it in reverse. The car wouldn't start back up... A few minutes later I tried to start the car and walah it started and I drove it back home. I'm not sure what the problem is now, but i'm guessing it may be that i'm running the 24lb injectors and still have the stock maf and haven't had it recalibrated. That would make sense why it shuts down, so I had the car towed to my local performance shop and i'm going to have them recalibrate my MAF.

RE: HCI Finished - Car doesn't want to idle stalling out
The timing was off before, whichI did fix.
I was planning to have the MAFrecalibrated like it is being done now. Can somebody let me know why that is going to cause the car to not want to shut up then not start and then decide to start? I'm not too familiar with MAF and injectors but I do understand that the injectors won't be providing as much fuel as 24lb injectors normally would. So wouldn't it still be the same as running 19lb injectors.
I knew this could be a contributing factor and have talked to a few people about it, but I didn't realize I hadn't mentioned it in this thread.

Fuel to air ratio. If it is not calibrated correctly the ECM cannot make theadjustments for the car to run properly. I am sure there is a more technical answer butIthink that pretty much sums it up.

Sidewayz6.0 i've always loved your avatar, never change it! lolll... gets me everytime.
I'll find out for sure tomorrow. I'm going to have them check for vacuum leaks etc, but the place knows what they are doing and will recalibrate my MAF.

RE: HCI Finished - Car doesn't want to idle stalling out*PLEASE HELP*
Well I had dropped the car off to get the MAF recalibrated and had the shop check everything out and there is an enormous exhaust leak and they are also in the search of a vacuum leak. After the MAF recalibration, it runs like a champ!
