Your vacuum advance working?

Pull the cap, put a short piece of hose on then suck on it and watch the arm pull in then cover the tip of the hose with your tonque and the arm must stay in otherwise its bad and its not able to retard timing under boost.

Check the advance springs also they broke on the 86 I had and was in full advance all the time. It would pop and fall on it's face a little above 3k. Do you have a Fuel Cut Defenser it makes a big difference.

vac adv. is deleted

There's your problem you can not remove that it must be there and working unless you have a way to control ignition timing with a stand alone device.

 

Did you look at the link I posted?

ok guys jus put motor in this car and it starts great and revs great sitting when i drive the car though if i feather the gas i can get it to rev better if i get into the gas pretty good it falls on its face @ 3k and wont go no higher

 

 

this is an 86 starion

On my 85.5 turbo truck i could hit fuel cut around 11-12 psi with just a 2.5 exhaust.

you cant be serious about deleting the vacuum advance.....

 

it not only advances timing, but also begins to retard it. without it under boost you car will knock and the knock sensor will have to detect, and pull timing to keep your car from tearing itself to shreds.

 

I believe some of you might be confused about what vacuum advance is if you think you have successfully deleted it. (unless youre running megasquirt and EDIS or some alternate type of timing advance)
