RE: teknickle difikulty

Hi Shannen,
    Verified the 10 degree jump the module provides at ~1600rpm with wire
unplugged.....Locked e-brake and loaded throttle with and without the wire
plugged and diacom was accurate with the timing light....This is why I
brought up this question....I don't generally do diagnostic stuff so thought
some of you guys might have seen it and know why....As soon as I get the
vacuum leak fixed(next week) I'll delve into it a little deeper....Tried for
that 80+ million yesterday in the CA lottery....didn't get it...crap,
shoulda worked on this truck yesterday.  :)

Somewhere around 1800-2200 rpm the module will advance timing if it's
not getting 5V from the ecm.  It's very sudden.  Disconnect 5V line,
start at 800, bring rpm up.  Watch for timing to jump.

Timing matching with EST unplugged is a coincidence.  Prolly pretty
rare, too.  You might want to buy a lottery ticket since you're
beating the odds today.

With the EST disconnected  I'd bet it wouldn't take much to find an
rpm/vacuum where Diacom and the timing light don't agree, if you were
trying.
