2001 2.5 5sp 108k miles
I've been working working through a surging idle issue. Almost all sensors have been changed except Intake Air Temp sensor.
Last sensor change, camshaft sensor in the distributor made the most improvement. Idles better and no more hiccup during accelerating.
The question now is why does my timing advance jump from 7-19? Idle stumbles more when closer to 7 and seem to smooth out when in thr 13 range. I've attached a short video. What else can I look into? What controls timing advance. I know all the info says the PCM. Could i have a bad PCM? The other bit of info is that if I'm rolling with engine running and clutch in (like) coming to a stop the timing advance is constant at 16. During this time there is no idle surge.
Any help is appreciated as always.
Thanks
