For those of you who have set Vortec timing with a bluetooth app after replacing their distributor:
I know this topic has been touched upon, but I'm looking for some more detailed information.
5.7 Vortec - '98 K1500
I replaced my distributor correctly, and the engine is running well. I just need to slightly adjust my distributor housing.
I bought the BAFX bluetooth OBDII adapter, and plan on purchasing an app to view cam retard/timing advance.
Here are my questions:
-What is a "PID", and what do I need to do to calibrate these settings?
-Am I adjusting using "Cam retard offset" to view my current timing, or simply "timing advance offset"?
-What else do I need to know before doing this? Keep in mind- my timing is pretty close. By the sound of the engine, I think I just need a small adjustment.
Thanks! Like I said, I know this topic has been mentioned, but none of the info available has gotten me these few last answers I need.
