No the little grey spout was not disconnected.

I just took the spout out and retimed it and it was actually at about 2 degrees btc.

I bumped it up to 12 and put some 93 octane in it and it seems much better.

*** So let me get this right...if you adjust the timing w/o the spout connected... What happens? I am guessing the computer doesn't pick up the change?

** Also the idle now is around 1800? Will it drop back down when the computer picks up the change? Or should I manually turn it down. ***
