ive just recenltly had a whole heap of trouble with my a bad set of points in my 1800 kombie (which ive posted here). however when i picked up my car from the mechanics with the new points it was pinging really badly. so i took i back and its been retarted from 10 to 0 (or TDC i guess?) now ive had the same tank of petrol in the car so im trying to rule out fuel....
basically im wondering even though my car is running sluggish at 0 (10 degrees retarded from the machenics standard set-up). is there any problems with doing this??
im concerned about the heat from this, and also because i have to really plant my foot down to get up hill. also it seems to be missing a bit when i give alot of gas (some small amount of flooding??)
whithout the petrol factor, what else could cause a car to start pinging so badly after changing the points???
also when i picked up my car, one of the chokes was stuck on....
jeez im starting to hate machenics!!!
