Reply With QuoteWhat is your base timing set at? Does the car pinig alot? These chips
usually run more timing and fuel. If your base timing is already advanced
you might want to reset it again with the chip in...Too much advance can
cause your heating difference. Check it out, it could possibly be
desastrous.

Just installed a Chip in my 5.0... Got a few ??
.... A buddy of mine has an old Hypertech Chip he's trying to sell me from
his old 5.0/T5 Stang.
I installed into a little while ago and it did make some difference. The
throttle response is "snappier" and there is abit more power.
One big thing I did notice is that my Engine Temperature is alot higher now
WITH the Chip. Before the temp gauge was always ready kinda low (when the
engine was warmed up). Now, with the Chip installed, the Temp is reading
just UNDER 1/2 way.
What would cause the engine to run warmer with the Chip installed ??
What ECM parameters are "tweaked" with an aftermarket (MANUAL transmission)
Chip ??
How much should I offer to pay my buddy for this Chip ??

As long as it doesn't ping I always thought more timing made teh car run
cooler. I had an overheating problem in my '67 289 and I was about to shell
out for a reproduction fan shroud, but tried advancing the timing first, and
what do you know, it ran cooler and faster!

The distributor has an electronic advance curve (as opposed to vacuum or
mechanical). My friend's Bronco has a V6 with that sort of distributor,
though the advance curve is adjusted with 'octane rods' that you install in
it. In any case, you set base timing and it keeps the same amount of advance
and curve as normal, i.e. the more base advance the more total advance.

Good point. I do have it advanced.
I'll set it back some and see how it goes.

How is the timing adjusted by a Chip if a car has a distributor (that
adjusts the timing) ????
