Distributor not advance spark timing according to engine speed/rpm.

Distributor not advance spark timing according to engine speed/rpm and making engine vibration during acceleration and deceleration. I have adjusted distributor setting with timing torch which was 5 degree according to engine manual but engine making vibration during acceleration and deceleration, when I adjust distributor 10 degree the car runs smoothly but the pick up of car is low. I think spark advance timing is not working, please tell me its fault about distributor, ECU or distributor adjustment issue. And how to check these issues.

Starting failure SolvedSolved

Hello, everyone. After servicing the engine and the combustion chamber from my Matiz 2002, the vehicle started accelerating and decelerating by itself. After scanning it, I was told the MAP and TPS sensors were damaged. I replaced both of them and the car started burning spark plugs and losing power. I was then told it was the oxygen sensor, so I bought this sensor and the IAC as well in order to have all the sensors new. But things got worse because the vehicle does not even start working now. Occasionally, some combustion noises are heard and the vehicle starts and immediately stalls. Spark plugs are always wet with fuel. I've already changed the distributor cap, the rotor and the spark plugs wiring, but nothing got better.

If you repaired the engine and the camshaft was replaced, the most probable thing is that this is causing your problems. A generic camshaft causes all the failures you have mentioned. This happened to me and I only solved it when buying the original GM camshaft. Good luck!

Check the injectors, which might be damaged.

Good morning, this happened to me and the problem was that the throttle body was opened. That is the reason why spark plugs get wet.

Thank you very much to all of you for your help and suggestions. Finally, there were many problems, from a short circuit in the fuse box to a failure in a camshaft piece, where the distributor is placed.
