Timing Issue Options

[supra12big]

hi, I have a question, when i did/do my timing, when its in diagnostics mode, its set to exaclty 10, then when i turn off the car, and disconect the diagnostic clip, and turn it back on the timing is at around 13, what is the matter or is that just normal?

i know and i took it into concideration and read but i never read anything bout base and adjusted timing r even te e1 jumping for timing...every1 only talks bout 5 10 12 15 20 22.......octain richness...and bad idal above 15-16deg. timing...so i had to carefuly experince it myself and now i know this much more i have the questions to further myself..and i know the concept of what happens if the timing of the sparks r off such as a early spark r a late spark and then too much compression with the wrong octain cause a early ignight and misfire and so on...now im just trying to learn bout base and adjusted timing....how they differ
