    weird timing issue

    I have been playing with my tune on the saturn in my signature. I am running into a odd issue. During scanning i ran into where at a certain rpm it drops the timing down to a set 24 degrees at wot. I know this car will run more timing i just cant seem to find where i adjust it. I figure it must have something to do with the vvt but i am not 100% sure. Any help would be great.

    Post a tune file and log of the car. Not enough information here to help.

    And there is no signature on your post that list any vehicle.

    Here is the scan and the bin. I have everything set very high trying to get more wot timing. Also if you have any insight to any major mistakes i am making i appreciate it. I sadly have read till my eyes bleed but until i physically do it myself or have someone show me where parameters should be i will be lost. Thanks again.

    I didn't not see anything that is sticking out to why it is not running commanded timing. The log didn't have knock retard logged. So make sure, its not knock retard. Then if its not knock retard. Then it might be in torque management somewhere.

    You can also log all PIDs that could cause timing removed. And see if any show timing being pulled.

    Also if you are to raise the main spark advance table, does your actual timing go up as well but just does not match commanded timing?
