So the little thing next to the distributor that helps with timing control & rev limiter, when it's connected the car won't start, disconnected it will fire right up?? Car was fine,drove it this morning, parked it-then it wouldn't start. Now after I start the car, try and plug it in the car will die, can I run without this? will I need to adjust my timing or get a re-tune?

I've had issues with idle surge due to the E cam and finally overcame that problem, now with this umplugged I have the problem again
 
Can you keep it running long enough to check the base timing (spout out)?

Providing the timing is somewhere close to 10 degrees, the car should run/drive fine without a spout. I drove my old green coupe for years with the spout out and the base timing set at 20 degrees. It had an s-trim on it and I never had the extra loot to get the car tuned (I called this my ghetto tune).

From what I re-call EEC4 cars don't like to idle if retarded much past 4 degrees.

Yeah it drove ok, I'm in the process of adjusting the timing right now, the car was lacking a pointer so OJ gave me a coat hanger idea. Gonna set it at about 14 or so and see how it goes
