Hey All, I would like to ask for some help. I was trying to check my ignition timing before I went for a smog check. But when I jump TE1 and E1, the car starts idling really rough and would almost die (did one time too). Would anyone know where I should start looking? The car idles and drives perfectly fine. I did take apart my car when I replaced the head gasket. But I had a neighbor was is a mechanic check the camshaft and crankshaft timing. Thank you in advance.

So I tried to adjust the base timing today. I ensured that my idle rpm was at 800. Then I jumped TE1 and E1, the car would stall no matter what position the distributor was in (I turned the distributor trying to find a position where it wouldn't stall). However, I noticed that if I give it a little gas by holding the throttle a little, it would be okay. However, once I let go of the throttle, the car would immediately stall. Any more ideas?
