Vortec 4.3L

Post by r2garciaSR »

Does TPRT display Vortec cam retard & ignition timing? I need to set the cam retard on a 1994 C-1500.
I read somewhere that the STC (Set Timing Connector) was deleted in 96', but this 94' harness definitely doesn't have one. This motor is from a '95 we got it with the harness just to make sure we had all the sensors and it did have The STC.

The set timing connector is just a connector in the reference wire from the disty to the PCM, so even if you dont have a connector just cut the wire (tan/black) set the timing and reconnect.

Displayed spark advance in tunerpro is actually just the spark advance it is adding on top of the disty setting (initial advance) it not total advance.

it would take all of 5 seconds to display actual advance in place of what the ECU is adding.
