hey everyone. ive got a 99 5sfe celica. as many of you know this means i have a non adjustable distributer. ive been told the computer adjusts the timing.
so my questions are: how does the computer adjust the timing? what sensors does it use to read the timing? does anyone know how the sensor or ecu does what it does in the area of timing? my goal is to "trick" the computer into advancing my timing a bit for better highway mileage and maybe some more power. surely there has to be a way to do it. ive heard i could do it with the timing belt, but then i heard i couldnt. any input greatly appreciated. thanks |

What exactly are you trying to do here? You're going to upset the operation of the engine doing that, for whatever gains you make in one area of the rev range/throttle position, you're going to make everything else worse
