Base timing should be 15 degrees when up to running temp, not 25!

Your neutral switch is probably not connected (after a auto-manual conversion) or it is just knackered.

Either way the timing will read 25 btdc at warm idle and will just idle a little high.

It WILL NOT effect the normal running of your car at any other time because normally once the car is in a gear the neutral switch is O/C anyway and idle at tickover in gear will be 25 btdc.

The only problem that does arise is the slightly high neutral tickover and when trying to set base idle to 15, you must earth pin 44 at the main ECU 1st....
