Quad Timing

[notlimah]

So I've noticed that my timing in the morning (basically driving within the first 5 minutes of starting) is pretty high. Like 17-20ish under low throttle inputs. Is this normal? I thought I had my settings in the quad to reduce this but maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I do have the quad set to a 120* warm up so would that factor in? Typically leaving Mike's MPG switch to OFF until I've been goin for a bit then switch to MPG.

sub 120* coolant no timing adjustment is done.  Sub warmup temp no timing adjustmenet is done. 

 

You are seeing OEM timing.

Yep. What Me78569 said. You are looking at normal OEM timing for cold engines.

Ok so nothing to worry about then?

 

If I were to turn off the warm up option in the quad would I still see the same numbers?

[Me78569]

The quad will not touch timing until engine temp is to 120*.

 

High timing with a cold engine is %100 normal.  Very cold mornings you will see 20+ * of timing at idle.

Everything that's said above plus I leave my MPG switch on all the time unless it's really really cold out then I'll put it in off position so grids will cycle normally, or if I had high idle3cly activated I would put it on that. Really the only reason I'm using the mpg switch is to limit grid cycle, soon when I get time I'll just unplug the two push on ground connectors for relays or put them on the toggle switch. Then I might live MPG switch in off position until it gets cold out again. Quadzilla can do all the timing control.
