Ok we’re talking my ‘96 chevy 1/2 ton 5.7 Vortec. It’s been pretty much problem free since sorting out but lately it’s had an occasional bucking. Finally set a code and I replaced the cam sensor in the distributor. Runs fine now but perusing the code reader shows the timing between -24 to -36 during driving.
I'm an old school hot rodder and from past experience I can tell you nothing runs at a negative number. All the pre-computer cars I’ve had, the closer to zero the timing got the crappier they ran; retard to the negatives and it’s story over.
I understand this is OBD2 and computer controlled but I’m confused. Runs fine, pin the throttle and full speed ahead captain. At 242k it’s a rocket. I just don’t get it.
What gives guys?
