Re: Misfire on cylinder 1 and 5

The base setting is 10° at idle. When the engine accelerate and the load increase on the engine, the timing increase to have enough time to burn all the fuel. It's normal that your timing increase. But it's too high at idle, you need to test your ignition system with a timing light to see if your PCM is good or not. Or you need to adjust the CKP sensor position.

A Windstar without having the check engine light is not a real Windstar.
