And the base timing for a KA24DE is 20*BTDC...+/- 2*. (EDIT: Splitting hairs on that point, I know...but still...)

FSM - EC-27, EC-28

The ecu doesn't play with the advance at idle once the engine is warm. I know what the FSM says. I also know that as a mechanic in the field most times the FSM isn't worth it's weight in doggy poo... Besides mitchell doesn't say anything about un-plugging the TPS. The only time it mentions that is to set the idle.
