Warmup ignition retard
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2011 4:34 am
in section Calibration/Ignition Parameters, there is a parameter named Warmup ignition retard with a checkbox.
help file explains the parameter as: When cold the ECU retards the ignition to increase the catalytic converter temperature. For race vehicles without a catalytic converter this may be disabled.
i do not have a catalytic converter. is it ok to disable the warmup ignition retard? is it true that the only advantage to be gained will be disabling the ignition retard until some ECT level?
does it have any negative effects on any other part of the engine?
thanks,
