Is there any history to this? Meaning did you do any major service or repair it? This code is telling you that the timing is over retarded and it sets the light immediately.

I attached the testing for this. Let's run through this but it looks like the first thing it is having us do is check timing if the code comes back.

Let me know if there is a history to it and we can go from there. Thanks
