MT, thanks for the reply. I just have a few questions: Is the cam retard offset periodically adjusted by the PCM and is there some condition or fault that would cause the PCM to make this adjustment such as timing chain stretching or a bad crank position sensor? When I replaced the cap I noticed that the worst of the wear was to the left of each point if looking at it from the bottom and coil terminal pointing to the left. I thought that might indicate that the timing was advanced to much. Lastly, do you know if there is a simple resistance check to diagnose a faulty or failing crank position sensor? Thanks!
