When the ECU retards timing, does it feel similar to when the car hits the rev limiter?????

Partshelper

yes.. I have that problem too right now with my vortech.

No, it doesn't feel like when the car hits the rev limiter. When the car hits the rev limiter, what you feel is the fuel cut that is programed into the PCM. Ignition retard will just feel like a loss of power,....you probably won't even feel it.

So what is Webestore feeling? ( hiccup).If I do suspect that timing retard has taken place with the stock ecu, do I just reset the ecu to get the stock timing?????

Partshelper

yeah hiccup feeling ....... exactly. you can try to reset and see what happens

I experience it when it is hot and the engine is heat soaked.

I pull the back up fuse at auto-x events to reset the ECU. The vortech black box pulls timing on top of the ECU. It sucks.

Partshelper

any suggestions on getting rid of it.

stand alone.....
