Re: What is the stock timing like?

had no idea the ECU could see the octane.

Re: No start....

Finally got a response from a diff ppv group.

New starter came in from rock auto and went to put it on this morning before work......the clip that holds the signal wire on is busted....now I have to wait for a replacement.

Re: No start....

Don't know how to check key fob status. Could possibly be starter. But the click wasn't really as loud as I would expect for that although it was the starter clicking. It sounded more like the solenoid wasn't really even trying to engage. I am going to order a new starter anyway. But oddly enough it...
