Thanks.
Do you mind if I pm you with some other questions unrelated to this topic?

Thanks ever so much for your time and effort replying, I managed to get 6 degrees adjustment by elongating the holes in the cam sensor cover and rotating it. Now to see how much difference it may make in the running of the vehicle. Thanks again.

Hello,
I аm from Bulgaria,
I removed this resistor completely, for maximum advance and drive without it, but I do not feel any difference

Have you checked that it is actually advanced? I would expect no resistor to cause it to default to full retard.

I do not want actually advanced, I want maximum advanced, because I drive my Jimny with LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

Have you used a timing light to check that the ignition is more advanced without the resistor fitted? I would expect no resistor to be a fault condition which would cause the ECU to go to full retard. To get maximum advance you would need to fit the '11' resistor and then slot the mountings if that is not enough.

Going full retard is searchable on youtube Rhinoman

Niki when I looked into LPG it seems that I'll need switchable maps due to the extra duration of injection It requires for the LPG injectors...

How does your system interface as the ones I've looked at merely modify the outputs from the standard ECU in a piggy back fashion.

I do nоt know, how does my system interface modify the outputs
Now, i put 12000 ohms resistor to tray

I used a timing light to check the advance without resistor and it is like mark N (0 correction)

Ah OK, it defaults to no correction rather than full retard - its a while since I looked at this.

Does anyone know if this is the same in m13a/m16a engines?

I got ignition pinging due to change in compression rate from 9.5(m13a) to 11.1(m16a)
