first off , why is timing a d16a6 a bitch?
i had a d15b2 and it could be off 7 teeth in eihter direction and still run. this a6 is a cockscker when it comes to time. it all started when i diecided to retard my timing since i was running 10psi and i donno if i heard pinging or not.. so i wanted to be safe and retard it 5 deg . so i get it TDC and the cam to th timing points. tighten the belt then wtttteee wttttee nothing, "im relly pissed after i did this 6 times in a row in the past hour. then i finally get it to start then it runs like ----. no tourque. so i come back park it shut it off and do it all over agin.. wham after 10 more times of sweattin my *** off int he sun, cutting myhand open and ------- wiht it . i get it timed. it runs but like ---- agin.. i take it to the shop where i work re time it agin.. i got it to where theres HP but not until 3800 + rpm.. is it possible to have it too retarded? like at the last tooth, but when i turn it forward twards advance it dont start...

i timed over 50cars "honda of course" in the past 3 years and none of them even gave me a problem like this one.. ive even did a Zc and i got it on the 2nd try, fill me in on info.. im all ears and im taking notes on this one...

this A6 sucks!

 

so can't you return it to normal and just back the dizzy off a little bit?

 

Yea, it looks like you did a lot of work for nothing? Do what he said ^ If you can get it back to normal.
